International Travel and Education Students in the Business Administration and Economics Department have several opportunities for international education. The most integrated educational opportunity is the interdisciplinary major in Commerce, Language, and Culture (the CLC program), where students pursue advanced study in both a foreign language/culture and international business. The CLC program requires an international experience, as well as an internship with an international company. International travel opportunities exist for students whether they major in CLC or not. Georgetown College belongs to two consortiums: the Kentucky Institute for International Studies (KIIS), and The Cooperative Center for Study Abroad (CCSA). Both offer a variety of courses, with KIIS focusing on countries where the predominant language is not English, and CCSA is focusing on predominantly English-speaking countries. In this way educational opportunities exist regardless of the student's current level of language skill. Since specific international offerings vary from semester to semester, students are strongly encouraged to plan ahead. Note also that all international programs require a passport valid for travel to the countries students are going to, so students are encouraged to prepare accordingly. For study abroad brochures, an application, and detailed information and instructions please visit Emily Brandon, Director of International Programs. Her office is in The McCandless Oxford House located at Jackson and Mulberry. Please visit the International Programs Web-site to read about all the programs available, scholarships, and more.
