Admission
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, 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.
Intercultural Management Concentration
The Intercultural Management concentration provides students with the skills necessary to interact effectively with people from cultures other than their own, specifically in the context of international business. Students will learn to understand the role and impact of culture in a wide variety of cross-cultural professional and business situations that can be applied to different organizational contexts. The concentration aims to provide future business leaders the necessary skills to be effective global managers. Students will gain an authentic appreciation and in-depth understanding of the fundamental role of culture in business practices throughout the world.
