The Language & World Business Program at the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, is a Bachelor of Arts degree program within the curriculum of
the Department of Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures, which enables
a student to combine a major
in foreign language with a "minor"
in Business. The program actually requires students to take more courses
in business than needed strictly for a business minor, and there is a growing
trend among L&WB students to double major. The label L&WB evokes
high quality, versatility, and well-roundedness.
Graduates of this concentration are ambitious, high-achieving, and well-rounded individuals, who proceed into active life or go on to pursue a graduate degree in international business or foreign language. International and Practical Experience Emphasis In addition to completing a rigorous and varied curriculum, students are required to study and work abroad. Most students study abroad for a year and then complete a domestic internship with a company involved in international trade. Many students also do internships with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the local Center for International Trade. Through the International Cooperative Education Program based in Menlo Park, California, students work during the summer in either Belgium, England, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa, or Switzerland. More and more companies
and graduate schools now know that Language & World Business graduates
often have better communication skills, more extensive international experience,
and more practical training than their peers with general business or foreign
language degrees.
