(College
of Business Administration) — 48-56 credits.
This
program requires completion of the International Business major requirements, a
functional business major, and an area studies requirement.
This
major requires demonstrated proficiency in a second language. This can be
accomplished either by completing prescribed courses or by demonstrating
proficiency as determined by the Department of Foreign Languages. Language
proficiency would generally be acquired through the study of a language up to
and including the FLG 202 level with grades of “C” or better in each course.
The language requirement must be satisfied prior to the study abroad
experience. (Students whose native language is not English will meet this
requirement through demonstrated proficiency via TOEFL or departmental exam.)
Majors
must also complete one study abroad program prior to graduation. The program
selected must be in a region where the dominant language is the student’s
proficiency language. Approval of the program will be made by the International
Business Advisory Committee. Every effort will be made to ensure applicability
of credits earned in the study abroad program.
