Description:
The Certificate
Program in International Management Studies is an interdisciplinary program
offered by the Department of Management
(School of Business) and the International
Studies Program (College of Humanities

foreign languages, and European studies into a unique program intended
to equip students for careers in international business. The primary purpose
of the program is the infusion of foreign languages and European studies
into the undergraduate curriculum. The program should be of interest to
both liberal arts students and business students who are interested in
incorporating new skills into their undergraduate training; students from
other majors are encouraged to apply.
