The Bulldog Business Show - October 15, 2026

In this episode, host Aundrea Self sits down with Taylor Watson, Assistant Director of International Business, to take a closer look at Mississippi State University’s unique International Business program and the experiences that prepare students to succeed in an increasingly global workplace.

Taylor breaks down what makes the program stand out, including its dual-degree structure that allows students to earn both a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in a foreign language. Students also complete an internship and study abroad experience as part of the program.

They also discuss what studying abroad can teach students beyond the classroom, from navigating new cultures and communicating across language barriers to becoming more independent and comfortable outside their comfort zones. Taylor shares how these experiences can prepare students for careers both in the U.S. and abroad.

Plus, learn more about internship opportunities, career paths for International Business graduates, program requirements and Taylor’s advice for students considering International Business at Mississippi State.
