MIT's educational mission involves providing students with the tools for a sensitive and successful involvement in the global community. The Foreign Languages and Literatures Section contributes in significant ways to the internationalization of MIT's education. The Section offers a rich variety of subjects. All of our classes provide an authentic linguistic experience through the use of the most advanced technologies, including the Internet and interactive video.
Students can explore literatures in the original languages or in translation.
The possibilities include intensive January courses, focus on regional studies, access to film festivals and guest speakers . For example, students can study abroad for short and longer periods, and can pursue internships abroad. Please see the frequently asked questions for additional help.
