COURSES OF STUDY
83
In some cases, business administration faculty may waive specific
requirements in special circumstances.
The approved international experience may be an exploration term,
summer term, semester, or year-long travel experience. In rare cases, an
internship in the international division of a domestic firm may satisfy this
requirement, as determined by a three-member faculty committee. Students
must gain approval prior to the internship.
Students who meet the eligibility requirements and are considering
the business disciplinary honors in international business are strongly
encouraged to develop non-native language proficiency through advanced
coursework and immersion programs.
