Languages at U-M

The University of Michigan offers more than 50 languages on campus and through distance classes in collaboration with Big Ten Academic Alliance member universities. For more information on all languages currently offered, please visit the individual departments’ websites.

If you have experience in a language that is not taught at U-M, the LRC can facilitate a proficiency test to determine if this experience will fulfill the LSA language requirement. Find out more about proficiency tests for languages not taught at U-M. You may also find these FAQs for students taking proficiency tests for languages not taught at U-M helpful.
