The Bachelor of Arts in Language, Business and Culture is an integrated and interdisciplinary major offered by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Feliciano School of Business. The innovative program combines intensive language and culture study (a choice of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, or Spanish) with fundamental business skills to prepare you for exciting careers both at home and abroad. Explore the relevance of foreign language learning in a globalized world by honing your language skills and applying your knowledge to a range of business and professional-related fields. You will develop the hard and soft skills that employers seek, including transferable soft skills such as intercultural competence, writing skills, oral communication, critical thinking, and cognitive flexibility, as well as a knowledge base in international business, accounting, economics, finance, technology and cross-cultural business communications. Fundamental to the major are experiential learning components – the required international experience and the capstone course – which give undergraduate students opportunities to interact with organizations, businesses and governments, and then to reflect critically upon these experiences. Italian: Studying Italian is an intellectually, professionally and personally enriching experience in a culture whose influence spans from antiquity to the present. Explore Italian literature, cinema, design, science and business. The engaged and dedicated faculty offer a wealth of language, literature, culture and pre-professional courses and can help you achieve your academic and career goals.
