<p>Hi, I'm a high school senior accepted to Northeastern for the International Business major, and I have a few questions that I'd love help with!:</p>
<p>1) What is the "language intensive" that the CBA website says BSIB students participate in prior to their ex-patriate year? Is it done in Boston or abroad? Is it just another name for a Dialogue of Civilizations? I plan to do the Spanish language minor (or maybe the International Affairs minor), but do International Affairs minors participate, given that they aren't studying language?</p>
<p>2) Is it possible to become an RA if you are in a program like BSIB where you are rarely at Northeastern for a whole academic year? Do you recommend applying for an RA position?</p>
<p>3) How hard is it to get Presidential Global Scholars? Can BSIB students get it? The only information I've found about the number (200 is the number listed below) of scholars is from 2009 when the following article was written.</p>
<p>"Over the past three years we have dramatically increased the number of students participating in global co-op opportunities—but we need to do more," Aoun said. "The Presidential Global Scholars initiative will allow us to double the number of students participating in international co-ops."</p>
<p>The principal goal of the program is to support students in pursuit of global co-op opportunities. Through competitively awarded grants, up to 200 qualifying students each year will become Global Scholars. Out of this group, a select number will earn the designation Presidential Global Fellow." </p>
<p>Thanks for any input!</p>
