The program of study for the International Business minor develops business expertise and cultural breadth. Specifically, it includes:
Business — functional capability
Students take five courses (15 credits) in several functional areas of business, including international business, management, marketing, economics, and finance.
Language/area studies
The ability to function effectively in more than one culture sets the IB minor apart. Students must complete nine credits of study from: language courses in the selected foreign language, courses in the related area studies, or courses taken during full-time resident study at a foreign university.
