LANGUAGE
AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Bachelor of
Arts
The Bachelor of Arts
program in Language and International Trade helps students acquire a basic
use of the four language skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing);
a familiarity with specific peoples, cultures, literatures, and business
environments; and the knowledge and skills to pursue graduate studies
or careers in business.
The Language and
International Trade program combines foreign languages and international
trade. Students choose one language concentration (French, German, Japanese,
or Spanish) and one professional concentration (Applied International
Economics, International Trade, Textiles, or Tourism).
A summer internship
between the junior and senior years gives students the opportunity to
apply classroom learning to a business/industrial work environment. Language
and International Trade majors are also encouraged to participate in Study
Abroad programs to increase language proficiency.
The language concentration
emphasizes speaking and writing skills, culture, civilization, and business/technical
languages. The professional component emphasizes international marketing
in areas important to the economy of the state and the nation.
In addition to the
requirements outlined below, students will be required, as a condition
of graduation, to pass a noncredit examination to determine language proficiency.
The examination will be taken in the student's last full semester at the
University.
