Academic Year:
MINOR IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS STUDIES
The minor in International Business Studies is designed for students who may be interested in language and business, but who are not majoring in a business area. The minor is restricted to students pursuing a major in Economics or any major outside the Lerner College of Business and Economics. Other Lerner College students who desire an international business minor must pursue the Minor in International Business or Minor in International Business with Language options. Admission will be based on the availability of seats and the GPA of the student; a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 will be required for consideration. Students must have completed 28 credits at the University of Delaware prior to application. Applications are reviewed each September and February. Students electing the International Business Studies minor are encouraged to incorporate a short-term study abroad program into their courses of study, especially a Foreign Languages and Literatures trip to a country that uses the student’s target language; however, only courses taught in the language of choice count toward the minor. The 21 credits required for the minor may also be used to meet other distribution requirements.
Students must earn a grade of C- or better in all courses taken for the minor.
