Hey there! I adore learning languages and I'm curious, do you know which colleges offer the most languages for study? Would appreciate any insights!
Absolutely, there are several colleges known to offer a wide range of language programs.
Harvard University offers instruction in over 80 languages, making it one of the leaders in this area. This includes widespread languages such as Spanish and French, along with less common ones such as Tibetan and Yoruba.
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) also offers a vast selection, including over 40 languages from around the world, notably including Nahuatl (Aztec) and Coptic (Ancient Egyptian). Columbia University, too, provides courses in about 50 languages – from Romanian to Zulu.
Indiana University Bloomington is well-regarded for its language offerings as well, boasting courses in over 80 languages. Notable courses include instruction in Uzbek, Bamana, and Pashto.
It's worth noting that while these universities offer a comprehensive list of languages, the level to which each language can be studied (i.e., beginner to advanced) can vary. Therefore, it'll be best to check course catalogs or the department pages to get a detailed view of how deep the instruction goes in each language.
