BA Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures in Language and World Business and Russian Studies

Language and World Business (LWB) is a concentration within the curriculum of the Department of Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures that allows students to obtain a B.A. degree by completing a special major in Chinese, French and Francophone Studies, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish and Hispanic Studies with an emphasis in international business, international retail merchandising, or international agricultural economics. The program includes a practical experience component, either an international internship, a local internship, study abroad course work, or any combination of these. Students pursuing the LWB concentration may count as many as two courses toward divisional distribution requirements of both the major and the college. This policy does not reduce the total credit hours required to obtain your degree, but it will facilitate your participation in foreign study programs by giving you the greatest flexibility when you choose courses to be taken abroad.
