Additionally, there is an emphasis on language; for without minimal language capability, one is truly handicapped in interpersonal relationships and in international interactions. Courses in language and language certificates are offered through the College of Liberal Arts. To round out and further students’ education, study abroad is recommended. Students are provided opportunities to spend a semester or a year abroad in various countries where the University has established business programs. See Temple CIBER | Study Abroad for information. A cultural, historical, and geographic area of understanding is also essential. Students are encouraged to acquire this background through completion of a Certificate of Specialization in Latin American Studies and Spanish for Business or Asian Business and Society facilitated by IGMS/CIBER or elective courses offered by the College of Liberal Arts. See Temple CIBER | Latin American Studies and Spanish for Business and Temple CIBER | Asian Business and Society Certificate Program for information.
