STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (CNS) -- Franciscan University of Steubenville will launch a new concentration in international business next fall, to help students respond to the increasingly global nature of the business world. Program requirements will include four semesters of a foreign language and nine courses in international business, eight of which will be taken during the junior year abroad in Gaming, Austria. Don Materniak, chairman of the department of accounting, business administration and economics at Franciscan University, said in a statement that the new global economy "requires business leaders equipped to communicate, manage and make decisions across national and cultural barriers."
