“Career services personnel at the University of South Carolina believe that employers value the study of any foreign language, not necessarily a specific one. They have spoken with many employers who think a student with knowledge of a second language and culture is more likely to have better cross-cultural understanding, an advantage when doing business internationally. The career service professionals felt that the specific language itself was less important than having an openness and sensitivity toward other cultures.”
