The Global Studies Concentration serves the needs of students wishing to combine a traditional major in French or Spanish with a background in business, public policy and/or public relations. In addition to completing required courses in Economics, Marketing, and Accounting, students choose 21 hours of electives from a list of courses selected for their international content and taken from a variety of fields (Management, Finance, Modern Languages, Political Science, Sociology, Mass Communications). This interdisciplinary program, coupled with a foreign language major, offers preparation for careers in international business, government or military service, and media related areas.
