With more than 80 languages offered, IU preserves less commonly taught languages. Leads the nation in instruction of languages critical to national security and global policymaking and prepares students for an increasingly global and interconnected world. Indiana University students gain valuable insights into how other people and cultures see the world, allowing them to not just communicate but to listen. In order to change the world. We must first seek to understand it.
