Foreign Languages/International Trade:

The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures offers a degree in Foreign Languages/International Trade in French, German, or Spanish. This degree program provides a major in the language, including courses in business languages, plus a concentration (30 semester hours) in business courses, including International Economics and Multinational Financial Management.

Special instructions for registering for business courses

The degree is designed to provide the student with a solid foundation in the language, with in-depth study in communicating in a business environment on a variety of topics. As a Liberal Arts degree, its main strength is the wide range of knowledge the student acquires in the language, history, culture and business practices in the countries where their chosen language is spoken. In addition, it gives the student a broad base in the major areas of business studies: economics, accounting, management, marketing, and finance.
