Bachelor of Arts in International Business

(120 UNITS)

Admission to the International Business major involves two steps. Students who apply to the major are initially classified as pre-international business. After completing the lower-division core requirements with grades of “C” (2.0) or better and demonstrating satisfactory progress toward intermediate competency in a foreign language, students may apply to the international business major. Pre-international business students may take lower-division business courses, but most upper-division courses are not open to pre-international business students. Students must attain a 2.0 (“C”) grade-point average or better in all university and concentration courses.

All courses in the major must be passed with a “C” (2.0) or better.

Lower-Division Core Courses (18 units)
