Abstract	Concordia College (Minnesota) has established a global studies curriculum that encourages the development of a global perspective in future business leaders. Global perspective is seen as having five dimensions: (1) perspective consciousness; (2) "state of the planet" awareness; (3) cross-cultural awareness; (4) knowledge of global dynamics; and (5) awareness of human choices. Concordia's curriculum combines business with foreign language studies, in Spanish, French, or German. Undergraduate course requirements for the Spanish emphasis include principles of accounting, intermediate accounting theory, principles of economics, managerial finance, statistics for economics and business, Hispanic culture and communications, advanced Spanish conversation and composition, business Spanish, and Latin American views. In combination with the liberal arts requirements, at some point during the course of study, students are exposed to the first dimension, perspective consciousness. This dimension is narrowed and focused for each language area and includes "state of the planet" and cross-cultural awareness in the business language course. Students are then eligible to apply for a semester of internship abroad. Overseas coordinators establish and maintain ties with corporations, locate housing, and advise students during their period abroad. (MSE)
