All examinations are of the essay type. Multiple choice exams are rarely given. Numerical grades are given based on a ten-point scale. Company Visits Major industries, banks, and branch offices of foreign firms are among the wide variety of Spanish business institutions that participants visit. These visits, which supplement the classroom work, include small group interaction with company officers, providing opportunities for participants to ask questions and explore practical applications of theories discussed in class.
Students observe firsthand what class instruction has reviewed in theory.
Students also visit a series of organizations and institutions that can make planning of strategic visits abroad easier, more organized, and less costly. Internships Depending on the student's language ability, job skills, and background, placement in an unpaid internship with a major company may be possible. Final selection of the participant for the internship is made by the firm. Internships are designed to allow the participant the opportunity to experience working alongside Spaniards to understand other work attitudes, approaches and different relationships between persons in a non-American workplace. For the student planning a career in international business, dealing with people will be a vital element of success.
