International Business Major

Requirements for a major in international business:

Students will take the total credit hours required in the functional area major, including the international course in the major, and meet the requirements given below.

Foreign language competency:

Students must offer proof of competency in a foreign language as evidenced by passing a competency exam or completion of the Intermediate II course in the language with a grade of “C” or better. (A TOEFL score of 550, 213 [CBT] or 79–80 [IBT] or better meets the competency criteria.)

Education abroad experience:

This requirement may be met either by studying abroad for a semester or a year, enrolling in a UT travel course, completing an internship abroad or fulfilling a community-based service learning experience abroad. All education abroad experiences must be taken for academic credit, must be pre-approved and all activities must be successfully completed. Community-based service learning abroad must be taken for academic credit, must be pre-approved and all activities must be successfully completed. Students participating in the community-based service learning abroad option may register for 0-4 credit hours in IBS 499.  International students are typically waived from the education abroad requirement, as their studies at The University of Tampa constitutes an education abroad experience. 

For complete information about UT’s education abroad programming, including deadlines, transfer policies and application requirements for UT Travel Courses, Summer/Semester/Year abroad programs, international internships and community service learning abroad, please see Office of International Programs.

Completion of MGT 345 Global Organizational Behavior and MGT 350 International Business (8 credit hours):

These courses are waived for international business and management majors since they are already required as a part of the management major.

International electives outside the College of Business (8 credit hours):

Students must take 8 credit hours of non-College of Business elective courses designated as International Global (IG). These courses may include electives offered abroad (with the approval of the international business program coordinator). IG courses used to satisfy the language competency requirement may not also be used to satisfy this requirement.
