Note
In order to graduate, B.S.B.A. International Business Majors must achieve a minimum average GPA of 2.0 in the following 15 hours of Required Courses and IB Major Electives. The IB Major GPA does not include any course taken to fulfill a 3000/4000 level approved elective.
Language Requirement (15 Hours)
A minor in a second language that includes 15 hours of the selected language, at the 2000 level or above is required. If no minor is available, a minimum of 15 hours at the 2000 level or above in the selected language as chosen in consultation with the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures may be approved.*
*Because the ARB minor does not require 15 hours of Arabic at the 2000 level or above, it is not approved to meet the language requirement for the IB major. Students may still pursue the ARB language by taking appropriate courses at other institutions, with the approval of the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures.
CHN/FRE/GER/JPN/RSN/SNH 3520 (Instructional Asst.) cannot be included in the language requirement. Students also pursuing a language major cannot declare a minor in the same language but must meet the requirements below as part of the language major. All language coursework must have an average GPA of 2.0. Prior to enrolling in courses at the 2000 level or above, the student must have completed coursework through the intermediate level (1050) or have passed a proficiency test of the chosen language. This can require as much as 12 hours of 1000 level coursework.)
International Experience
The student must participate in an approved international experience approved by the College. The experience must have a duration of at least 10 weeks. Generally, this will be satisfied through an international internship or a semester study abroad.
