Life isn’t limited to the United States.

Your love of all things living, breathing, and growing could span the entire world! Your career will thrive if you have a better understanding of international environments, cultural practices, historical precedent, and – of course – language.

Why do LCP with your major in CALS?

You want a major that lays a strong direction for your future career, but you also want to stand out with your international perspectives.

What’s LCP all about?

  • Coursework tailored to professional issues
  • Internship or study abroad
  • Scholarships for your international experiences

Whether you just want to keep improving your language skills or study culture or you’re convinced you want to work internationally, LCP is right for you. Our classes will use the other part of your brain that you don’t get to exercise in your primary major.

Majors and minors

Is there a language or culture you want to pair with your primary major? You can do an LCP major or minor with any program! It’s as easy as L-C-P!

Majors

French  German  Spanish

Minors

Interning abroad

LCP internships are about the cultural and language experiences. However, our LCP students have worked at amazing organizations such as Bosch, Daimler, and John Deere International. Where will you go? You can find out more about internships for credit here.

NOTE: In some cases, an approved credit-bearing study abroad experience can take the place of the internship. Contact us to learn more.

I chose LCP because I love the Spanish language. Having two other majors, I did not think that I would be able to fit Spanish in my schedule between my required class. LCP has allowed me the flexibility to pair it with both of my majors, so I can continue my learning!
