Why get a degree in Romance Languages?

• We prepare our B.A. majors for graduate study; for jobs that serve our multicultural community’s needs in education, social work, tourism, public relations, international business, and for the challenge of the new global economy.
• We prepare our M.A. graduates for doctoral work, teaching positions at the secondary and college levels, and other positions for which mastery of a major language and culture is required (i.e., translation, immigration and naturalization, customs, foreign trade, tourism, diplomacy, and social work).
• All our majors and graduate students are eligible for yearly departmental awards. 
• Our faculty engage in research and teaching activities around the world, from Argentina to Romania, and from France to Israel, thus contributing to the internationalization of the curriculum in the College of Liberal Arts and at UNO as a whole.
• Students may choose to participate in the UNO-directed international program in the city of Innsbruck, Austria. 
• The city of New Orleans' unique history and special blend of cultures offer students of Romance Languages a favorable environment, particularly in the francophone and hispanophone areas. A state-of-the-art language laboratory enables our students to supplement their class work with additional exposure to the language of their interest.
