 Return to: College of Arts and Sciences
Anyone working in the international arena - whether in international relations, for an international organization, or in business - needs to work with people from around the world and have a deep understanding of the global economic environment. Students receive this mix with the interdisciplinary major that is offered jointly by the Departments of Modern Languages and Economics. The blended coursework provides students with:
- A solid foundation in French, German, or Spanish.
- The skills to address international economic issues and work in the global arena.
- A sound understanding of the cultures that exist across the global economy.
The B.A. in Modern Languages and International Economics requires students to select a modern language concentration from French, German or Spanish. The senior research and the directed study courses in each concentration are the capstone courses, and they are jointly directed by faculty members in Modern Languages and Economics. Students are prepared and encouraged to pursue internships and exchange programs abroad. To plan courses, study- or work-abroad, and your future career, please contact faculty advisors in the Modern Language Department or the Economics Department.
