PREPARATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS
Algebra and geometry are necessary for many required business courses. The equivalent of three years of high school mathematics, including a second course in algebra, is the prerequisite for the required Math 135 Business Calculus. Students without the necessary background should enroll in Math 115 College Algebra.
Business students are encouraged to take courses in sociology, psychology, anthropology, speech communication, political science, history, philosophy, geography and foreign languages. Many courses in these fields may be used to meet general education requirements. For the international business degree, intermediate level competency in a foreign language, equivalent to Foreign Language 204 courses, is prerequisite to the required concentration courses. It is strongly recommended that students planning to major in international business complete a minimum of three years of foreign language study while in high school.
