International Business, Language, and Culture Degree with a concentration in German

Students interested in the serious study of language and culture and their intersections with business may wish to pursue the IBLC-BS, a joint degree offered by the Georgetown University College of Arts & Sciences and McDonough School of Business. This program has a distinctive and important FLL stamp; students in the program choose a language of focus, which will then be listed alongside the IBLC degree as their concentration (BS-IBLC with a concentration in German, for example). Curricular information and further details about the IBLC degree are available in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
