Together with Germany, Poland is becoming one of the new economic engines of the region. Entry into the European Union has brought funding for a wealth of cultural and scholarly initiatives to Poland in the past decade. For this reason, knowledge of Polish opens doors to students for participation in non-profit, government, scholarly and cultural institutions in Poland, or in business initiatives in Poland – either as part of summer or year-long initiatives, or after graduation.

A Bachelor of Arts in Polish provides important language skills and a solid understanding of Slavic and Baltic cultures. These are a strong asset for many jobs, especially those in the following areas:

• Federal, state, and city agencies
• The armed forces
• National security establishments
• Banks and businesses dealing with Eastern Europe
• Publishing and data-gathering companies
• Transportation and tourist industries
• Ethnic cultural services and organizations, such as cultural centers, libraries and museums, ethnically oriented public media, etc.
