Office: 123 Howell Hall

Foreign language majors prepare for careers in government (State Department, foreign service, diplomatic corps, FBI, CIA, USIA, the military, immigration, etc), international business, the human services fields, teaching at all levels (secondary school, junior college, university), and other language-related jobs.

Programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), the joint Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Master of Arts (M.A.) in Foreign Languages are offered. A minor in one foreign language may be obtained upon satisfactory completion of 12 semester hours beyond the intermediate (III and IV) level courses. Education students desiring teacher certification must earn at least 27 semester hours in the language they plan to teach.

The Department sponsors three honor societies: Pi Delta Phi (French), Delta Phi Alpha (German), and Sigma Delta Pi (Spanish). Information about membership requirements may be obtained from the Head of the Department. The Department also sponsors language clubs which provide social and cultural activities for faculty and students.

The Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages is awarded upon the successful completion of a minimum of 123 semester hours, including the following areas: (The hours needed for graduation will depend upon the entry level of study into the major language; a minimum of eight, 3-credit hour courses in the chosen concentration at the 3000-level, or higher, is required.)

  1. General Education Requirements
  2. Bachelor of Arts Common Requirements
  3. Advanced Composition and Advanced Conversation in the respective concentrations.
  4. A minimum of 42 semester hours in the target language (French, German, Spanish,). Note that degree requirements vary among the languages. It is the student’s responsibility to meet the requirements of the chosen language concentration, as listed below. The normal sequence is FLF/G/S I, II, III, IV, Advanced Composition FLF/G/S, Advanced Conversation FLF/G/S, two semesters of Survey of Literature FLF/G/S, and at least 6 hours of upper-division electives in the primary language. A civilization course related to the primary language is strongly recommended.
  5. Completion of the fourth semester course of a second foreign language (12-14 semester credit hours) is recommended. In addition to the concentrations, the Department offers courses in Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Latin and Russian.
  6. Study abroad is highly recommended. Foreign Language majors interested in following this recommended course of study should notify the advisor as soon as possible, so that a plan of study can be developed in which courses are taken in proper sequence.

 

International Business Program

A Five-Year Double Degree Program:
B.A. in Foreign Languages & B.B.A. in Business Administration

Office: 102 McCool Hall

Major Advisor - Business Administration: Associate Professor Rezek
Major Advisors - Foreign Languages: Professor Jordan;
Associate Professor Harland; Assistant Professor Potter

123 Howell Hall

The International Business Program provides students with an academic background and work experience to help ensure success in the marketplace. Students receive a double degree at graduation reflecting the dual concentration in Business: B.B.A (with an international focus and a specific discipline such as Marketing or Finance); and in the Arts: B.A. (language and cultural proficiency). This is additional to the first two years of study developing abilities in writing, math, sciences, and computer literacy.

The hallmarks of this program include a work internship and an outside the country academic experience of a full summer or one semester duration (generally taken the last of the 4th year or beginning of the 5th year). The internship is ideally reflective of the student’s specific business discipline and the study abroad is reflective of the student’s language proficiency area. The student who selects to combine the work and abroad experience must petition the IB Director for approval. Minimum acceptable levels are

  1. WORK: 10 continuous weeks of international tasks and responsibilities,
  2. ABROAD: 6 continuous weeks in one location for cultural immersion.
     

The total number of semester credit hours (SCH) will be 154 for most students. The program has five main components:

  1. a core of basic skills, including courses in writing, mathematics, sciences, and communication (30 SCH);
  2. a core of humanities and social science courses selected to fit the special needs of international business major, emphasizing both the history and culture of other societies and the ways these societies relate to our own (27 SCH);
  3. intensive training to develop proficiency in one foreign language and its associated cultures and literatures (35 SCH);
  4. a thorough grounding in business techniques and practices, including 33 SCH of general business courses, up to 12 SCH of international business courses, and 15 SCH in one of six functional/discipline emphasis in business (accounting, finance, information systems1, economics, management, marketing1, or risk management, insurance and financial planning1).
  5. a one-semester internship program with an international business (4 SCH).
     

Students interested in following this recommended course of study should notify the Department Head of Classical & Modern Languages and Literatures and the Director of International Business Academic Programs. Students must have the Director’s written approval to join the International Business Program. Students must meet all graduation requirements for the College of Business and the College of Arts & Sciences. This includes having no Ds in upper level courses or in upper level Foreign Language courses. International Business students must have an overall and previous semester GPA of 2.67 to be eligible for internship and study abroad.
