International Business Minor
|
|
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 .

Minor Requirements
All three modules must be satisfied. Business Administration majors substituting the minor for an option must take all coursework in the minor for a letter grade. Note that units taken to satisfy the requirements of a minor can be applied to General Education requirements wherever applicable as long as the units are outside the prefixes of the student’s major. (Note: ACCT, ENTR, FIN, ITM, MGMT, and MKTG are prefixes in the Business Administration major.)
Note: Students must have completed the prerequisites listed in the course description for any course they use to satisfy the following requirements.
Module A, Business Administration (24 units)
Please consult the College of Business and Economics Student Services for Module A advising.
Module B, Specialty/International Business (16 units)
Please consult the College of Business and Economics Student Services for Module B advising
I. Complete one of the three following specialty areas (8 units):
A. Finance
(Business Administration majors selecting the Finance specialty should choose FIN 4310 and FIN 4320 since they will be completing FIN 3300 as part of the upper division Business Administration core requirements.) Required (4 units):
B. Marketing

(All of the courses taken to satisfy items C II and C III in this module must have their content reaching primarily beyond the student’s native culture and geographic region. A student’s choices of language and area studies courses must relate to the same geographic region. Students whose native language is other than English may choose English as their second language, if their native language is determined by the committee administering the minor to have sufficient significance as a language of commerce. Students using English as their second language may make either U.S./Canada or Great Britain (not both) the focus of their C III coursework.)
Please consult Dr. Norman A. Bowen (Political Science) for Module C advising.
I. Choice of one of the following (4 units):
II. Intermediate level competency in a modern language including a course in business terminology if available (0-24 units)
(Competency must be certified by the Cal State East Bay Department of Modern Languages and Literatures. Competency-certified language units based on other than regular classroom transcript coursework or based on courses challenged for CR/NC will not count as part of the minimum 24 units required for Module C.)
III. A minimum of 4 units in area studies
e.g., Latin America, Middle East, Northern Europe, Southeast Asia, with sufficient additional units in C III to bring the total acceptable credit units for Module C to a minimum of 24 units (4-20 units). (Courses for C III must be approved by the assigned International Business Minor advisor.)
