Academic Year:
MINOR IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS/MINOR IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS WITH LANGUAGE
The minor in international business is designed to give increased understanding of the important international dimension of business to students with a major in accounting, finance, hotel restaurant, and institutional management, management, management information systems, marketing, operations management or sport management. The minor is awarded only to students who have applied and been admitted to the program. Admission will be based on the availablity 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. The 18 credits required for the minor may also be used to meet other distribution requirements, such as the University Discovery Learning Experience, degree breadth requirements, and professional electives. Students electing the International Business minor are encouraged to incorporate a short-term study abroad program into their course of study.

Students must also take nine credits from an approved list of supporting courses in many departments. Included are all foreign language courses at the intermediate level or above and courses that emphasize current international issues or provide background for understanding other countries or cultures. No more than one course can be taken in a single department. This list is maintained by the Department of Business Administration. Pass/Fail courses will not be counted.
The minor in international business with language requires completion of the 18 credits required for the minor in international business plus completion of at least two courses at the 200-level taught in the language of choice for a total of 24 credits. The languages available are Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, or Spanish. Students selecting the International Business Minor with Language may count one language course as part of the nine credits in International and Region Studies Courses, in addition to the two required 200-level courses. Students are encouraged to incorporate a short-term study abroad program into their course of study, especially a Foreign Languages and Literatures program to a country that uses the student’s target language; however, only courses taught in the language of choice count toward the minor.
