A:  be sophomores or juniors at The Ohio State University at the time of the application;
B:  have completed a minimum of the first two years (six quarters or four semesters) of OSU foreign language study or its equivalent prior to the study abroad experience;
C.  be able to demonstrate serious interest in, commitment to, and involvement in, business, commerce, or industry.
