Practice in language labs can only go so far, whic is why you'll spend at least one semester - or perhaps two - studying abroad at one of our partner institutions. Fully immersed in your major chosen language, you'll accelerate your rate of learning and have the opportunity to become familiar with the way business is conducted in that country - a valuable asset for anyone involved in international trade. Through a variety of methods, you'll learn written and spoken skills in your chosen languages. Role plays and presentations will help hone your verbal fluency, and you'll learn to communicate and negotiate effectively in a business context. Should you choose to combine your language study with a business specialty, you'll learn the principles of your chosen field in the context of international business. As well as these skills, you'll also study the cultural and business environment of your chosen country and learn to relate accordingly. * marketing * human resource management * tourism * exporting * international development.
