Three hours must be taken from an approved list of courses offered by the Moore School of Business which contain international business or international economics content. The following course options can also be used to satisfy the 3 credit hours of this requirement: approved course work containing international business or international economics content, taken at a semester abroad program; an approved Maymester or summer overseas course containing international business or international economics content; an approved internship course in international business wherein a student would obtain discipline-related work experience in a foreign country; or an approved service-learning component. Students may choose from one of the following options to complete the remaining 6-hour requirement:
Language: Two language courses at the 200 level or above
OR
Electives: Two approved courses with international content taken either inside or outside the Moore School of Business from a list available in the undergraduate office.
Minor or Directed Coursework (minimum of 18 hours)
Minors (non-business) may be selected from a University-wide list of approved minors. The minor is normally a minimum of 18 hours of prescribed courses in one subject area. Students not selecting such a minor may submit an alternative program of study to satisfy the directed coursework requirement. All alternative programs of study are subject to approval by the Undergraduate Program Faculty Committee in coordination with the Undergraduate Division. All minor courses or directed coursework must be passed with a grade of C or better.
Electives (3-9 hours)
All students must complete 3 hours of electives, not to include coursework in PEDU or MATH/STAT below the Moore School minimum requirements (ex. MATH 111 or STAT 110). Students are strongly encouraged to take a business section of UNIV 101 to fulfill this elective. Additional electives may be needed if a student exempts the foreign language requirement or fulfills Carolina Core requirements with overlay courses. Those credit hours must be replaced with additional elective credits.
