The International Business Major: A Basis for Cooperation between Foreign Languages and Business in a Liberal Arts College.
Sampsell, Martha; Thompson, Earl G., Jr.
The description of an international business major in a small liberal arts college outlines the program's development and the degree requirements as they have changed since its inception in 1977. In this process, foreign languages have become an integral part of the program design, reinforcing its value in the minds of faculty advisers as well as students. An advanced composition and conversation course focusing entirely on business has resulted. This course places considerable emphasis on vocabulary building, the function and composition of business documents, and the potential role of the foreign language skills after graduation. The program's major advantages include its flexibility, use of college-wide resources, the cooperative spirit developed between the departments, joint student advising, the high caliber of students participating, increased number of foreign language courses as well as courses in international and comparative economics, shared faculty and student interests in extracurricular activities, and increased job opportunities for the program's participants.
