What types of different language majors are there?

The only major I can think of that’s not a language in itself is International Business. Most of the IB programs I’ve seen have a language requirement to go with the major. Is that what you’re asking? I’m a little unclear.

Music (opera), Art, Theater, Philosophy, International Affairs, regional majors such as European Studies, Comparative Religion.

Linguistics is a good one…hint hint…

Medieval Studies often requires study of old languages, like Latin or Old French.

Comparative Literature students often find that studying literature in its original language helpful (I’m doing an Italian MA and there are quite a few Comp Lit students in my literature classes).

My son got a Master’s in comp. lit. He needed his English, almost perfect French and classical Greek.

-Comparative Literature: usually requires at least two foreign languages at the undergraduate level and sometimes more if pursued for graduate work.

-Philosophy: not always required at the undergraduate level, but graduate study often requires at least one ancient language and one modern language.

-History: usually requires at least one foreign language if you don’t get stuck on your own country’s history.

-Asian Studies: if you don’t know Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese, then you’ve still got something to learn.

-International Relations: often requires two modern foreign languages.

-Classics: requires Greek and Latin.

-Middle Eastern Studies: Arabic and Persian.

This is just a sampling, and there are plenty of Language and Literature programs (e.g., for French, Spanish, German, Italian, and so forth).
