Abstract	A program at the College of Wooster (Ohio) in commercial language and international business is described. The program was undertaken with private funds and within the context of a traditional liberal arts college. It has three main curricular goals: (1) additional training of language instructors for language courses that would include the language of technology, business, and commerce; (2) modifications of existing foreign culture courses; and (3) upgrading of library and audio-visual resources to support international business-related courses and senior theses. While the goals are common to most international business programs, this program has several unique characteristics. It: uses private funds only; takes advantage of the adaptability inherent in the liberal arts setting; and is administered entirely by program participants, not college administrators. In the Spanish department, a full course in Spanish for commercial use is offered. The French department includes a course on the French economy since 1945 and one on business French. The German department offers a team-taught economics course in German. In addition, an internship program for the college, with business contacts in France and Germany, is in development. (MSE)
