International Business
The International Business concentration is designed for those students seeking career opportunities in internationally focused organizations or those students pursuing an extended or permanent work experience abroad. The International Business concentration has a cross-functional business focus and does not reside in any one Cameron School of Business department. Faculty members representing all departments work as a team to guide the program and advise students. Students in this concentration must (1) be proficient in a language other than their native language, and (2) complete a formal international experience (i.e., study abroad, international internship, exchange). The language proficiency requirement can be met by completing the requirements for a (a) major/minor in a world language, or (b) by completing at least one 300- or 400-level course in the world language with a grade of C or better, or (c) a passing score on the language proficiency exam. As the goal of this requirement is to develop proficient speakers in a non-native language, language composition, advanced grammar, and/or reading classes (even if at the 300-level or higher; i.e., FRH 302/303/306; GER 331/332/333; SPN 302/305/306) do not meet this requirement, nor do courses taught in English). Regarding the international experience requirement, the INB Coordinator has ultimate authority to award credit for such experiences, though generally a formalized study abroad, exchange, or international internship program offered through UNCW will meet this requirement. Virtual programs may meet this requirement with approval from the INB Coordinator. To improve the potential students are well-prepared for an international business career, the concentration is designed to provide students with both (1) an overview of international business from a cross-functional business perspective by taking international-focused classes from various business disciplines, as well as (2) courses within a specific business discipline with international applicability. As such, students concentrating in International Business will select a track within a business discipline. Students may select one of nine tracks within International Business. All International Business tracks are 21 semester hours. Students may not concentrate in more than one INB track, but are encouraged to add any other CSB concentration.
