1997-1998 - The University of Scranton

INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE-BUSINESS
The major in International Language-Business is a professionally oriented program. Its purpose is to
make language study a more career-structured discipline by providing students with the opportunity to
acquire a liberal education while, at the same time, taking courses specifically relevant to the business
enterprise.
In order to bridge the communication gap between multinational business and the lack of functional language
skills often exhibited by the personnel representing them, specialized language courses focusing on
the business terminology and cultural setting of the countries in question complement the regular language
and business courses in this major.
The department urges students to study abroad during their junior year. In addition, it strongly recommends
that students who spend the entire junior year abroad plan their studies carefully, so that they will be
able to take at least one course per semester in their major language during the senior year. Students who
pursue a business internship will earn credits in addition to the 130 credits stipulated for the program,
unless there is room in the Free Area.
