| Abstract | Eastern Michigan University's (EMU) bachelor's (B.A.) and master's (M.A.) programs in Language and International Trade began in 1978, and have awarded 181 B.A. and 249 M.A. degrees in their first 10 years. Two surveys of program graduates revealed that most are employed in jobs with international concerns. Alumni observations strongly reflected the difficulty of breaking into the business world and recommended strengthening both the language and business components of the programs. This and other input led to major program revisions. In the undergraduate program, the major changes involved raising business and foreign language course level requirements. The master's program, originally conceived for U.S. students with a traditional undergraduate concentration in a foreign language, was found to be serving mostly foreign students with a business administration undergraduate concentration. In addition, the entry and exit requirements in business and economics were raised. Both programs are currently seen as responding to a national need for courses in English as a Second Language, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish for business. The EMU curricula are being replicated in varying forms in a number of other institutions. Appended materials include enrollment and degree award data, United States economic dominance data, and program and requirement descriptions. (MSE) |
