“I would say that the most important thing to take away from the IB&M major at Dickinson is the ability to apply problem-solving skills and analytical thinking to real-life situations. The Global Economy and the Capstone Seminar, among other courses, best prepared me in that regard. One thing that you will have to do no matter what industry or profession you choose is innovate and provide a different perspective on how to improve current processes.

I was able to study abroad in both Spain and Mexico, which is key since I use Spanish on a daily basis to communicate with my clients. If you can add a skill set such as a foreign language to what you already do, you will be much more attractive to any employer.”
