Business and Overseas Study
Students in the Kelley School of Business may apply to ANY Overseas Study
program for which they meet the eligibility and selection criteria.
However, only the following programs automatically carry business
credit (note that each requires the completion of E201, E202 and the
Business Integrative Core (or equivalent coursework at an IU campus outside Bloomington),
before participation). Students should consult with their business advisor
to determine how these programs meet their degree program requirements.
Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP) students are eligible to apply
for these programs and must have completed BUS K201 and ECON E201 and E202
prior to participation.
Dual Degree Programs
A program that awards both the IU Bachelor of Science and a foreign diploma/degree is offered in Reutlingen, Germany. For more information contact Tammy Orahood, Manager of Undergraduate International Programs in the Kelley School of Business at (812)855-2614.
Non-Business Programs
Business students participate in many other IU Overseas Study programs. Participation in any IU overseas study program of at least six-weeks duration satisfies the international dimension requirement if you earn at least 6 credit hours. Course work may count towards the International Studies Concentration, general education requirements, an outside minor or, in special cases, a second degree.
Non-IU Programs
Many business students participate in study abroad programs offered
through other universities. Full-time participation in these may satisfy
the International Dimension requirement, and, in certain cases, program
courses can count towards the International Studies Concentration or the
Global Studies and Languages Field Specialization. Some courses may also be used towards
other general education requirements if they receive approval through the
Kelley School of Business. Follow the online instructions for transferring
credit.
Combining Foreign Language with Business
Often students inquire as to how they may combine their interest in a
foreign language while pursuing studies in business. Students may not
officially have a language major as part of their degree in the
Kelley School of Business because languages fall under the domain of the College
of Arts and Science. However, there are options for combining one's
interests in business and a language area:
-
An International Business Second Concentration in the School of
Business
Students complete BUS D301 & D302, 6 hours of a language at the 200 level or above,
6 hours on an approved overseas study program, and 9 hours of International Business electives
at Kelley or abroad.
-
An Global Studies and Languages Field Specialization in the Kelley School of Business
Students may complete this optional component of the general education
requirement by taking 27 credits (at least 6 at the 300/400 level) within
one department in the International Specialization area (see p.22 of the
current Business bulletin). Language courses can be used but cannot
double count for the International Dimension or the International Studies
Concentration.
-
An official minor in a language with a degree in Business
Students complete the degree in the Kelley School of Business but also follow a language department’s requirements for the minor. Most language minors involve at least 15 credits of language study beyond the 100-level. Check the College of Arts and Sciences bulletin for specific requirements. Apply for the minor through the relevant language department. Minor forms are available at the Information Window on the second floor of the School of Business.
-
An UNOFFICIAL major in a language with a degree in Business
Students complete the degree in the Kelley School of Business but also follow the language department’s requirements for the major in that department only. When they are ready to graduate the director of undergraduate studies or, in some cases, the chair of the language department can provide for their placement file a letter which states that they have completed all the department requirements for the major. The business students list on their resume that they have the equivalent of a language major.
-
Two separate degrees, a BS in Business and a BA from the College
This plan requires that students satisfy the requirements of both schools AND graduate with 26 hours OVER the minimum for the first degree (122 hours in the College, 124 in Business). The second requirement is waived if both degrees are conferred at the same graduation. A student in the Kelley School of Business would need to satisfy all the College’s distributional requirements, including intensive writing and culture studies. Some of the courses that applied to business prerequisites might crosslist in these areas. The University does not encourage students to pursue this 2-degree route because it typically entails an additional year of school. If the student would be spending 5 years at IU in any case, the option may be more viable.
-
A degree from the College with a minor in the Kelley School of Business
Students admitted to COAS must complete seven courses (21 credit hours)
for a minor in Business.
-
The Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP) through COAS
Students pursue a BA degree in the College with a major in a foreign language (or any other field in the College); at the same time they take courses leading to a Certificate in Liberal Arts and Management, including 15-20 hours of Business courses and 9 hours of interdisciplinary seminars.
