Walker College International Business Major

Class The International Business (IB) major was established in 2002 and has grown dramatically since that time. As of Spring 2006, there were 159 declared IB majors.

The major is designed to prepare students for a career in international business or public service through the development of competency in a foreign language and cultural awareness and providing students with specialized international business skills.

The major’s interdisciplinary curriculum includes fifteen hours of specially-designed international business courses in addition to the broad core curriculum of the business administration degree. The IB major also requires a minor in a foreign language, to be selected from Chinese, French, German or Spanish as well as an international experience, which is generally a semester study abroad at one of our partner institutions or an internship.

Due to the required international experience and the foreign language minor, it is critical that students majoring in international business carefully plan their coursework with their academic advisor.

Requirements

The BSBA degree in International Business requires a minimum of 128 credit hours. The BSBA program is fully accredited through the AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The IB major provides a broad-based liberal arts background through the required general education coursework, the language minor and the international business coursework.
