Overview

FLIT graduates receive a balanced education, making them qualified for employment in an internationally-oriented business or organization, or within an international branch of state, federal, or multi-national government.

The Foreign Language and International Trade program at Southern Illinois University is divided into three main components: Foreign Language or World Cultural Studies, Business Knowledge, and Professional International Experience.

Foreign Language or World Cultural Studies

Students whose native language is English should focus on a single chosen world language and culture: Chinese, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish.

Each FLIT student chooses one language specialization, but there is no limit to how many foreign languages a student may study. Most students who study a foreign language in high school are able to skip past introductory courses through proficiency testing or by getting a grade of B or better in a second- or third-year language sequence course.
