International Business Specialization
"The International Business Specialization in the College of Business is a non-limited enrollment specialization that allows students to gain an international perspective in business. This specialization provides students with an appreciation and understanding of other cultures and diversity in the workplace. Its study abroad component prepares students to function successfully in the global marketplace."

Global and Area Studies Major
The global and area studies-social science major focuses on the study of global systems and processes as they are expressed in local places. The major offers concentrations in world regions and global topics. World region concentrations include African studies, Asian studies, European studies, Latin American and Caribbean studies, and Russian and Eurasian studies. Global topical concentrations include gender and global change, and international development.

e-LCTL InitiativeNew
In a time of national and international need for an enlarged pool of learners of key languages around the globe, a strategic effort has been needed to enlarge the number and depth of offerings of the less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) and their availability to learners across the nation, especially at the post-secondary levels. This requires greater collaborative effort among the nation’s universities in deciding among themselves, with attention to broad national needs, which languages to offer, at what levels, when and where, and what new learning materials are required. These emergent plans then will require the support of funding agencies to achieve those goals. Planning will focus on courses and language-learning materials for on-campus academic year, summer, and distance learning. Without planning and coordination among institutions, we will be left with the small number of LCTL offerings, dictated largely by the market of graduate and heritage student demand and other short-term needs.

globalEDGE: Your Source for Global Business Knowledge
"Thanks for providing such a wealth of information on countries and their economies. Your site is well-organized and maintained, easy to navigate, and the links are incredibly useful. I also enjoy the polls. I have used your site for the last 6 months to write a number of papers, as well as to research foreign economies and markets during my internship last summer with the US Dept of Commerce. You have made my life much easier and I am in your debt. Thanks again."
