Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a foreign language major, second major, minor, or double minor at Illinois State? A wide variety of students study languages. This page features the accomplishments of not only our very best students, but is also meant to provide an idea of what the typical language student's life is, both in the classroom, as well as in clubs, in community engagement, and study abroad.
