International anything (law, business, relations…) requires excellent linguistic and cultural fluency in at least one target culture where the language is spoken.
Colleges such as Dickinson with a culture-based language curriculum (v. literature-based - and the curriculum DOES include literature, just isn’t the main or sole focus) are what you’re looking for. Most top colleges now offer this either as their “default” or as one possible track.
(I list Dickinson because it may not be as well known to you as other colleges.)
