- 1
Minimum of three credits from a study abroad program.
- 2
Approved internship taken for at least three credits at a domestic company involved in international commerce where students gain international experience through avenues such as interfacing directly with someone from a different culture (e.g., customer, supplier), participation in business dynamics that involve multinational aspects (e.g., sales, finance, law, import/export compliance, supply chain, international marketing, global IT), or other similar activities. Working for a multinational company does not automatically satisfy this requirement.
- 3
International students whose first language is not English or come from a bi-lingual environment can take a domestic internship that does not necessarily involve international commerce.
