Overview of Major
This is a joint Bachelor of Science degree between the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs and the School of Modern Languages. Students earning the B.S. in International Affairs and Modern Languages (IAML) take the same core courses required for the B.S. in International Affairs, but also receive intensive foreign language training and learn the fundamentals of dealing with foreign cultures and societies. IAML students learn how to formulate the policy decisions that must be made in an increasingly multilingual and multicultural global forum. Students can concentrate in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. The program accommodates those with little or no language preparation in high school.
Job Titles Held by Alumni
IAML graduates are prepared for advanced graduate and professional study and are ready for employment in internationally oriented firms, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
