Credits earned may be counted to fulfill the twelve additional upper-division elective hours in accounting, business, or economics requirement.


Note: Courses taken to fulfill the requirements of the international business concentration cannot be used to simultaneously meet the Global Dynamics Requirement (GDR) for the BBA degree. Therefore, a student seeking a BBA degree with a concentration in international business will have to take the total of five courses with international content. While most students will use BU 355 International Business to meet the GDR, students who have already met the GDR by taking EC 410 International Economics or BU 477 International Finance will be required to take either the other course from that pair or BU 355 International Business. BU 406 International Business and Entrepreneurial Experience cannot be used to meet the GDR, but can be used as a business elective.
