MOORE Language
Because fluency in another language is often critical for success in the business world,
students selecting the Language Track combine their business education with intensive language
training in one of eight languages – Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Portuguese, or Spanish.
In addition to language training, students will complete an internship in a country that speaks the language they have studied. All language tracks are 20-22 months, with the exception of Arabic, Chinese and Japanese, which require 29-34 months of study to give students added exposure to the more complex languages and cultures of these countries.
After their internships are completed, students in both the language and global tracks return to the Moore School of Business in Columbia, South Carolina, to continue their business education. This second year of the program is designed for the students to obtain depth in their areas of interest. Students take elective classes during their final two semesters either at USC or they may choose to complete a one-semester exchange at one of our partner institutions. (See Exchange Partners) All students have the opportunity to have a concentration in a designated area. This depth of knowledge, combined with their global training and international experience, gives students the competitive advantage they need in today’s workplace.
