International Business Major
(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.
Modern Language
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
Modern Languages. Language proficiency would generally be acquired through
the study of a language up to and including the MLG 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.
