INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Credits
College Studies (See page 26 of the 2000-2001 catalog)
Note: Six credits in language or areas studies will partially satisfy foreign language and area studies requirement for the major (see below).
46-48
Foreign Language and Area Studies
Students must take a combined minimum of five courses (15 credit hours) in foreign language and area studies. The division of the five courses over the two subjects is determined by the student's language competency and need for further language studies. Students must take the highest level of language for which they are qualified. The equivalent of semester three language proficiency (Intermediate Low of the ACTFL Proficiency standard) in a second language is required prior to attempting to fulfill the study abroad requirement of the International Business major. At least one course, but not more than two, must be in area studies. Six credit hours for this component are already included in the College Studies program under "Language or Area Studies."

Below is a suggested distribution:
Language Studies I
Language Studies II
Language Studies III
Language Studies IV
Area Studies (chosen one): East Asia, Europe, Latin America)
Note: The Area Studies must be consistent with the foreign language.
