Department & Faculty Information
Program Description
The International Business Minor is designed to provide you with a foundation in:
- general business administration;
- a specialty within business in finance, marketing, or personnel administration/industrial relations;
- international business; and
- international studies including languages and cultural and political background.
Coursework required for the minor has been combined into three modules: (A) Business Administration, (B) Specialty/International Business, and (C) International Studies.
Students in Business Administration will have satisfied Module A as part of their Business Administration major and need only Modules B and C (a total of 40-48 units) to complete an International Business Minor.
Students in the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences with a major or minor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, can easily have at least 24 units of Module C satisfied as part of their major or minor program, leaving them with Modules A and B, and possibly 8 units of C (a total of 40-48 units) to complete for an International Business Minor.
