This concentration in global interaction is not available on the Northern Virginia campuses. It is aimed at international students who wish to develop professional skills for functioning in English-language international settings, whether of business, government, education, or civil society. The curriculum provides a range of skills in such crucial areas as organizational structures, economic development, legal instruments, and multicultural communications. It does so with an emphasis on the language and topical skills that are basic to work and life in the global English-speaking community, which spans North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The program is explicitly interdisciplinary and multicultural, with an emphasis on course work and thesis development that will help position graduates in this broader global community.
