Minor in International Business
The minor in International Business at Illinois State University extends a student’s major by providing global perspectives in courses that connect to their College of Business major. Only students with a College of Business major may add an International Business minor.
This minor is a good choice for students who may also be minoring in a foreign language and want to bridge their language and culture to their business interests. It is also a good choice for students who might develop an interest in International Business too late to complete the full BSIB program but still want to document and develop their interest in global business.
