2002-2003 - 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 a business
enterprise.
In order to bridge the communication gap between multinational businesses 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.
