For students who are pursuing a double major OR for students who take a second Interdisciplinary Seminar, 3000/4000-level COR classes that have global focus can be applied to the requirement.

For only those students double-majoring in International Business, these elective hours can count towards their upper-level Elon Core Curriculum requirements.

Substitutions: One or more of these courses can be replaced by coursework abroad, provided the student has taken INB 2500. Substitute courses must be upper-division courses and may be taught in the language of the host institution. Study abroad substitutions must be approved in advance by the chair of the department or preapproved substitutions obtained from the Registrar. If additional substitutions are necessary because of study abroad curriculum changes, the department chair will approve when possible the available substitute options which meet the requirements of the international business major.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

REQUIRED MINOR OR DOUBLE MAJOR:

To promote academic depth, all students must complete a minor in World Languages and Cultures OR a second major of the student's choosing.

INTERMEDIATE LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY:

Students must attain intermediate proficiency in a modern world language by:

     (a) passing a modern world language course at the 2020 level OR placing above the 2020 level and

     (b) taking AT LEAST one course at Elon in their chosen language.

SEMESTER ABROAD:

International business majors are required to study abroad for a semester. It is recommended, but not required, that students choose a region or country relevant to their language proficiency.

Due to Covid-19 the department will waive the Semester Abroad requirement for current juniors or seniors, with graduation years of 2021 and 2022. Majors are expected to continue to take classes at Elon which fulfill their regional and global requirements along with language proficiency classes for the major as outlined in the Academic Catalog.

*Total number of hours depends on the number of internship hours and the amount of world language needed to meet the world language requirement.

 

Total Credit Hours: 73-81
