Understand your world.
Language is key to increasing one's understanding of today's world. The internationalization of travel, the arts, media, politics, science and technology, and the economic interdependence of the world's nations have caused a demand for the multilingual professional. This increasingly multinational character of American society itself demonstrates the importance of foreign languages in nearly every occupation.
The L2 requirement for our Bachelor of Arts programs reflects the importance the University of Dayton places on intercultural education to prepare our graduates for global citizenship.
