Faculty members who are experts on individual countries or issues of international importance are available to students through the various departments of the university. Students interested in pursuing positions in local, national and international business combine their major in international studies with a minor in a business field, such as accounting, computer science, marketing or management. A recommended part of the program is study abroad. Capital offers a number of opportunities for students to spend a summer, semester or academic year in a foreign country while earning class credit. Most programs cost about the same as tuition for that period at Capital, and many forms of financial aid can be applied to study abroad.
Capital runs two exchange programs in Jamaica and Hungary.
Another asset of Capital's program is the opportunity for interaction with international students on campus. Students from many foreign countries currently are enrolled at Capital. Students can learn about language, religious, social and cultural similarities and differences through informal experiences. In addition, Capital's affiliation with the Washington Center provides the opportunity for students to spend a semester working for one of the various governmental or private agencies in the nation's capital. Internships also are available with the House of Commons in London.
