Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Strong Content Area

Where should you start when considering a career in world languages? 

First of all, you should decide whether or not you want to pursue your language as a major area of study (as a world language teacher, for example). 

You might prefer to major in another content area at OSU, such as, for example: International Business, Marketing, Engineering, or Law, combined with a second major or a minor in one or two world languages. In these cases, your world language skills enhance your major area of expertise, as many careers require world language skills in addition to those necessary for the position.
