Additional Information

Suggested Electives

Students selecting the international business minor are required to take a minimum of six hours of approved electives.  The six hours must be from at least two different departments and cannot be used to fulfill both the Miami Plan Foundation and the International Business Minor requirements.  The suggested electives are recommended but by no means comprise the extent of courses that would be useful preparation for international business.  You may wish to explore other courses in the disciplines suggested as well as those from other disciplines by an international business adviser in the Farmer School of Business.  Upper level language courses that focus in culture and literature are acceptable electives.  Some courses offered on the Luxembourg campus may be used as electives.

Language Preparation

This minor requires foreign laguage skills through the 201 level or above at an accredited American University. This requirement may not be met through proficiency or AP credit. The College of Arts and Science provides courses for preparation in a variety of foreign languages.
