Minor in International Business for Business Majors

Students pursuing a four-year degree in business may add a minor in international business as they pursue a major concentration in one of the functional areas. Students who elect this program must notify their advisor before the end of their junior year.

What You Need to Know

• Students must attain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.0 (C) in all 10 courses and not less than a C grade in each course.
• Courses cannot be taken by correspondence study or by independent study.
• Courses may not be studied through an internship.
• Although not a formal prerequisite, BUS-D 300 International Business Administration (which is a required course for all business students) is the foundation course for the study of international business and should be taken before BUS-F 494 International Finance and BUS-M 401 International Marketing.
• All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise noted.
