If you're interested in learning the languages and exploring the culture of other countries, and want to turn your passion into a career—you’ve come to the right place. The Department of World Languages and Literatures offers courses in several languages with Bachelor of Arts degrees available in French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
Your education may start in a classroom, but that’s just the beginning. At NKU, you won't just learn on campus, you'll learn on the job.
Our student organizations and clubs bring students together outside the classroom to share common interests, challenge themselves, and make connections. Whatever your interest, we’ve got a group for you.
You may qualify for one of our many merit- and needs-based scholarships.
