Abstract	A California State University (Fullerton) program brings together faculty in business administration, economics, and foreign languages in an interdisciplinary effort to internationalize the business curriculum. The program has attracted a rapidly enlarging student following, with Spanish the largest language concentration and Japanese the fastest growing. Demand for all international business courses has increased. The number of graduates has increased from one in 1984 to 75 in 1989, with a total of 174 graduates. Finding appropriate internships for the unexpectedly large number of students has been difficult, but other curriculum options are available to meet the requirement. According to a recent survey of program participants, international placements with local firms constitute 40% of the assignments. Over half the survey respondents gained entry-level employment in some aspect of international operations. Program strengths include its uniqueness, highly motivated students, good internship placement, international faculty, counseling services, seminars, and scholarships offered. Weaknesses include too large a number of participants under the present structure, lack of a core faculty with adequate qualifications, low supply of internships, some curriculum problems, inadequate support materials, and need for a database. The program brochure, enrollment and employment data, internship data, and respondent comments are appended. (MSE)
