<p>If I want to study two languages at Princeton while majoring in political science, how does that work? Will I achieve a certificate in the languages? I am just curious about accreditation. How will companies I apply to know that I have a focus on foreign language other than looking at classes I have taken?</p>
<p>Note: For those of you who do not know, Princeton does not allow double or triple majors.</p>
<p>You can get a certificate in any language that Princeton offers, and can be included in your resume under education as “Certificate in [insert demonym] Language and Culture.” Better yet, just list that you’re fluent in whatever languages you’re fluent in under a “Skills” section.</p>
<p>Thank you, soulpatch. Do you know how those are awarded?</p>
<p>The certificates have requirements that typically consist of a few upper-level courses in that language’s department plus an independent work requirement. For example, the certificate in Spanish language and culture requires four 300-level Spanish classes plus a paper of approximately 6,000 words in Spanish. The certificate in Arabic requires three upper-level classes plus a research paper of approximately 7,000 words in Arabic. You can browse around here ([Academic</a> Departments and Programs](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/ua/departmentsprograms/]Academic”>http://www.princeton.edu/ua/departmentsprograms/)) to look for certificate requirements; they’re normally listed in the descriptions of their respective departments.</p>
<p>Ok, great. I think, if I attend, that is what I will aim for.</p>
