Pamplin School of Business: Global Business B.B.A.

As with the other business programs, global business has a foundation of four required courses that cover different but interrelated business disciplines. However, the business electives are reduced to six credit hours to allow for a language requirement of up to twelve credit hours (i.e., all students must complete a foreign language at the intermediate level as a minimum). Completion of an appropriate language course will fulfill the upper-division non-business elective requirement. Students who place into 300-level language when they enter the program can complete a language minor in the 12 hours of the curriculum allotted for language courses. Finally, the cultural immersion requirement can be met through study abroad programs sponsored by the University in Austria, Australia, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Spain, or by participating in programs offered through the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES). Students are strongly advised to study in a country that will help them further their language proficiency.
