Auburn University

Auburn, Alabama

The undergraduate curriculum includes a two-year Pre-Business curriculum required of all students and a two-year Major curriculum selected by the student. These two curricula provide a balanced course of study for all students, with approximately one-half of the hours in business courses and one-half in courses offered outside the college. The courses required have been selected so that all students will have access to the “common body of knowledge” as designated by the College’s accrediting agency, AACSB International.

The objective of the International Business program is to provide students with not only the business preparation necessary for success in the global environment, but also the foreign language skills to effectively communicate in that environment. The IBUS curriculum is designed to provide maximum flexibility and broad-based preparation for future career opportunities.

Graduates are prepared for entry-level positions in many areas of business activity depending upon their particular area of concentration within business. Within the language component, students must select from French, German, Spanish, or Chinese.
