CURRICULUM III—DUAL MAJOR IN BUSINESS AND FOREIGN LANGUAGEs PROGRAM
The modern business environment is truly global and the dual major provides students the training necessary to succeed in that environment. The dual-major student completes a degree and a major in management, marketing, finance, or economics, as well as a second major in French, German, Spanish, or Russian. The result is a superior skill set derived from cutting-edge business training and thorough study of a language and the culture associated with it. Such a program creates students who are technically proficient, culturally sensitive, and flexible enough to deal with the business challenges of the future.
