McTyeire International House promotes the use of foreign languages and the awareness of different cultures. McTyeire offers programs to students seeking to improve their fluency in French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish or Russian as well as a program, offered in English, to students seeking to learn more about international topics.

Students are required to speak their target languages or discuss international topics at specific activities, including weekly study breaks and international dinners served Monday through Thursday in McTyeire’s own dining room. McTyeire’s kitchen specializes in international cuisine from around the world.

During the 1992-93 academic year, McTyeire Hall underwent a complete renovation and its single rooms now serve 97 undergraduate and graduate students. Residents of McTyeire have access to a variety of foreign language publications in the hall’s own library and to a VCR/DVD player and TV in the TV lounge.
