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. Spanish: The Spanish program is an exciting intellectual, personal, and professional adventure that offers multiple possibilities for future careers and cultural enrichment. As the official language of 20 countries and one of the six official languages of the United Nations, Spanish is the world’s most widely spoken Romance language. A concentration in Spanish is an excellent choice to complement the BA in Language, Business and Culture.
