Global Business Major Requirements
The global business major is a co-major or double major, which requires students to major in one of the other functional areas of business. Students interested in acquiring increased competence in global business and trade, take at least five global business electives, one of which is an experiential course. In addition, students select liberal arts, humanities and social studies electives that either explore important cross cultural issues or develop a proficiency in a foreign language.
