Foreign languages are the gateway to the global community, and Simpson offers exciting educational opportunities for students seeking an international perspective. Simpson’s majors in French, German and Spanish, as well as its minor in Latin American Studies, provide essential skills to prepare students for their interactions with foreign cultures. The faculty help students develop not only communication skills, but also cultural competency in their chosen language. Simpson graduates find that their increased global awareness prepares them for graduate school and international careers.

When combined with a major in a foreign language, international management is the ideal program for students with an interest in international business, and the international relations program is perfect for those interested in international politics.

Our foreign language majors can choose from many study abroad opportunities. Formal international study programs include the Simpson Semester in Nicaragua, the Simpson German Semester in Schorndorf and the Semester in France offered through the American Institute for Foreign Study.
