<p>I am a high school Junior who is thinking about majoring in international business for my undergraduate degree. I think the major would be a good way for me to combine my interest in business with my love for other cultures.</p>
<p>In high school, I have taken two years of Spanish and by the time I graduate, will have taken three years of college-level Latin. I am a good foreign language student (I make A's) and pick up on language fairly well, but am not one of those few lucky people with a gift for instantly picking up a new languages.</p>
<p>Obviously, Latin won't help me much if I wish to pursue an IB major, though it does make learning other languages, especially Romance languages, easier. Will going into an IB major with a strong background in Latin and a few years of Spanish be a disadvantage, or do colleges pretty much assume you have no foreign language experience and start you off in beginning language classes? Finally, how many levels of a given language does an IB major usually complete, and how many languages do most take on?</p>
