    Associate of Arts Programs in Modern Languages

    Whether to branch into a new field or as a less expensive start in higher education, an Associate of Arts offers new opportunities to students. This two-year liberal arts program allows students access to entry-level careers or the chance to advance to a bachelor’s degree.

    What is an Associate of Arts in Modern Languages? It is an undergraduate program aimed at students wishing to major in foreign languages, designed as a foundation for a later four-year degree with general core and preliminary courses. Students explore a new language in a hands-on environment with reading, writing, and speech; they may also study the culture through its history and literature. Courses often involve a high degree of interaction among students, as well as between individual students and instructors.

    Alongside the new language, students develop a number of skills while studying for an Associate of Arts in Modern Languages. This program can establish or improve memory and problem-solving, reading and listening comprehension, and study skills. The courses also build interpersonal and global awareness.

    An Associate in Arts can be more accessible than a Bachelor’s since the shorter program means a lower tuition. Costs vary between schools and countries, and some schools might have different tuition rates per credit hour for the two programs.

    In an increasingly global economy and community, knowing multiple languages can be vital or at least provide extra credentials for any job. Translation skills are necessary for state or federal workers, journalists and photographers traveling abroad, and in-house translators for publishing or game companies, among other careers. Companies that seek representatives with the community or other companies might also prefer those fluent in multiple languages.

    An Associate of Arts makes it easier to pursue the education and career you dream of. For students living in remote areas or in need of flexible learning, online programs are especially valuable.
