The Language of Business 
International Educator - March 2012
Proficiency in a second language is necessary for admission to the Global Partners MBA program at Robinson College. “We talked to senior management in major multinational organizations and consistently, one of the messages we got was that language skills are valued,” said Karen Loch, director of the program. “It’s not just, can you ask for a drink? But can you really converse in the language in-depth? Can you sit through a meeting? Make a presentation? Work with your colleagues day-to-day? It’s the extrinsic value one gets from studying a language that makes a difference and is so important in this global arena,” Loch declares. Global Partners alumna Leslie Brown says her proficiency in French is “a great icebreaker,” helping her connect “on a personal level” whenever she meets someone new. Also, “if you are young like me, it gives you a chance to show off a little in front of the presidents and directors of the company and let them know you have some serious chops.”
