Luther students who have specialized in foreign language study have found their background helpful in a wide variety of careers. Language skills can complement virtually any career preparation. Following graduation, recent modern language majors have pursued law, library science, social work, bilingual education, counseling, and the ministry. Others are engaged in business-related careers in banking, management, accounting, and tourism. Some graduates work with government agencies (customs, intelligence work, diplomatic service) or continue their study and research in graduate school.
