Other: International Business Certificate (IBC)

This request is to make changes to the IBC curriculum to eliminate 1.5-credit courses and replace them with an appropriate set of 3-credit courses. The entire existing curriculum will be eliminated. The current version of the International Business Certificate (IBC) relies heavily on 1.5-credit courses, which have become unworkable given the standard 3-3 teaching loads. The program has been revised to include only 3-credit courses.

The new curriculum is as follows:
Required courses (4 required courses, 12 credit hours)

MAN 6066	Cultural Environment of Global Business
MAN 6XXX	Managing Multinational Corporations (APC-1 passed as 02-245, December, 02)
MAR 6157	Export-Import Marketing
FIN 6605	International Finance

Elective courses (choose 1 course, 3 credit hours)
BUL 6850	Legal Aspects of International Business
ECO 6705	World Trade and the International Monetary System

BBA: International Business major

This request is to expand the list of International Business Program (IBP) Major Electives to include any international business course. The only excluded international courses offered by CCB are ECO 3701 Contemporary International Economic Issues and GEO 3553 Cultural Aspects of Economic Geography, which are geared toward non-business majors. CCB has added numerous IB courses since the major was originally developed. This updates the major to allow students to use these courses in their programs of study.
