Global Business and Economics (B.S.)
The Global Business and Economics degree builds on both the University's liberal arts core curriculum and the Business and Economics core to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Selected courses with direct applications to the global environment from Economics, Business and other programs enhance the program to prepare students for a wide range of diverse opportunities in the international sector. Students completing the major are required to study abroad or take an additional course in modern languages or complete a Professional Internship in Business.
Global Business and Economics majors complete a minimum of 120 credits to earn a bachelor’s degree: 49–51 credits of core courses, 9–17 elective credits, and 60 credits of major courses.
Requirements for the Global Business and Economics major consist of the Business and Economics core requirements (42 credits).
In addition, all students in the Global Business and Economics Degree program are required to be certified in the most recent version of Microsoft Excel through the Certiport Microsoft Office Program by the end of their sophomore year. Once complete, students should submit the Excel Proof of Certification form found here for department approval.
