Undergraduate Catalog 2009-2011
International Business
PLEASE NOTE:
In May 2009, the CCSU Faculty Senate
approved a proposal to eliminate the International Business major and replace
it with a concentration in International Business. This International Business
concentration is one of the options for completing a major in Management. Students accepted to CCSU as
International Business majors (or Pre-International Business majors) before
June 1, 2009 are able to complete a major in International Business (if they
satisfy all requirements for this major).
Beginning June 1, 2009, the
following policies apply:
-
Students admitted to
CCSU (June 1, 2009 or later) are not able to major in International Business or
Pre-International Business.
-
CCSU students cannot
change majors to Pre-International Business or International Business (June 1,
2009 or later). The only exception to this change applies to
Pre-International Business majors who are allowed to become International
Business majors if they satisfy all requirements for the upper division of the
Business School.
-
All CCSU students
(regardless of admission date) are able to choose the Pre-Management major
(with a concentration in International Business).
-
All CCSU students
(regardless of admission date) who satisfy all requirements for the upper
division of the Business School are able to choose the Management major (with a
concentration in International Business).
