LAIB 1270  Introduction to Language and International Business

This course introduced the structure of the Language and International Business major and showed how language, culture, and business support one another. I began thinking more clearly about international careers and the importance of adapting communication across cultures. It gave me a useful foundation for planning my later coursework and internship.
 

LAIB 4000  Language and International Business Internship

Course currently in progress. During summer 2026, I completed an internship with Oguchi Onyewu and gained practical experience in a professional sports-related environment. I observed how relationships, communication, organization, and international experience affect business decisions. The internship has been one of the most useful parts of my training because it connects classroom knowledge with the soccer industry and my future goals.
 

ECON 3100  International Economics

This course examined trade, exchange rates, international markets, and the economic relationships between countries. I learned to evaluate why nations trade and how policies can create benefits as well as conflict. The course gave me a stronger framework for understanding the global environment in which international businesses operate.




 

MGT 3030  Global Business

Global Business focused on how companies operate across national and cultural boundaries. We considered differences in political systems, laws, ethics, culture, and management practices. My own experience between France and the United States made the course especially relevant and helped me contribute a personal international perspective.
 

ECON 3020  Money and Banking

This course explained the financial system, interest rates, central banks, monetary policy, and risks faced by commercial banks. Studying real cases such as bank runs helped me understand how confidence and policy decisions affect the economy. I finished the course with a much clearer understanding of financial news and the role of the Federal Reserve.
 

AL 3820  NIL and Student Athletes

This course explored name, image, and likeness rights and the changing business environment of college athletics. As an international student-athlete, I found the subject very personal because immigration rules can limit access to opportunities that domestic athletes may use more easily. The course helped me evaluate both the benefits of NIL and the inequalities that still exist within the system.





 

ACCT 2010  Financial Accounting Concepts

I learned how companies record transactions and prepare financial statements. Working with journal entries, assets, liabilities, equity, and income statements gave me a practical way to understand business performance. Although the details required careful attention, the course made financial information much less intimidating.
 

MKT 3020  Consumer Behavior

This class examined why consumers make decisions and how culture, identity, motivation, social groups, and perception influence buying behavior. I learned to look beyond the product itself and consider the person and environment behind a purchase. The course was useful because it connected psychology with practical marketing decisions.
 

MKT 4270  International Marketing

International Marketing showed how companies adapt products, prices, promotion, and distribution for different countries. We studied cultural differences, political and legal risks, market entry, sanctions, intellectual property, and ethical issues. The course strengthened my ability to think about marketing from both a French and American point of view.
 

MKT 3010  Principles of Marketing

This course introduced customer value, segmentation, targeting, branding, pricing, promotion, and distribution. It gave me the basic language and decision-making tools needed for advanced marketing courses. I also began to see how athletes, teams, and sports organizations build brands and relationships with supporters.

MGT 2010  Principles of Management
 

I studied planning, leadership, teamwork, motivation, organizational structure, and decision-making. Group work helped me recognize that successful management depends on clear roles and communication. The lessons also connected with my experience in soccer, where leadership and trust directly influence team performance.
 

ECON 2110  Principles of Microeconomics

Microeconomics taught me how individuals and firms respond to incentives, prices, competition, and limited resources. Supply and demand, elasticity, market structures, and externalities gave me tools for explaining everyday business decisions. The course created an important base for my later economics and marketing classes.
 

ECON 2120  Principles of Macroeconomics

This course focused on the economy as a whole, including GDP, inflation, unemployment, economic growth, and fiscal and monetary policy. It helped me understand how government and central-bank decisions influence businesses and households. I can now follow economic discussions with more confidence and connect them to events in both Europe and the United States.
 

PCID 3040  Business Communication and Information Design

This course developed my ability to present professional information clearly through written documents and visual organization. I practiced adapting a message to its audience and making complex information easier to understand. These skills are valuable for someone working across languages because clarity and structure reduce misunderstandings.
 

MATH 1020  Business Calculus I

This course introduced mathematical tools used to study change, optimization, and business-related functions. It improved my quantitative reasoning and taught me to approach unfamiliar problems step by step. The course gave me preparation for later work in economics and business calculus.
 

MATH 2070  Business Calculus II

Building on Business Calculus I, this course required me to apply more advanced quantitative methods to business and economic problems. It strengthened my discipline and problem-solving ability. I learned that even when a method is difficult at first, consistent pra
