Guidelines for Course Selection
Fisher College of Business
Student Exchange Programs
Exchange Pre-Requisite Courses: Students must complete the following courses before studying abroad.
 ECON 2001: Principles of Microeconomics
 ECON 2002: Principles of Macroeconomics
 ACCT 2200: Introduction To Accounting I
 ACCT 2300: Introduction to Accounting II
 STAT 1430: Statistics for the Business Sciences
Core Business Courses: Students planning on taking core business courses at foreign institutions.
Courses you should not take abroad
 Students are required to take the introduction to their intended specialization at Fisher College. For example,
if a student is planning on specializing in Finance, BUS FIN 3220 should be completed at Ohio State.
 BUS FIN 3500: Legal Environment of Business cannot be completed abroad since the focus of this course is
on American law.
 BUS MHR 4490: Strategic Management cannot be completed abroad since this course is a capstone course
that requires synthesis of all the core business courses.
 BUS ML 4383: Supply Chain Management is a unique course at Fisher which should not be taken abroad.
 BUSMHR 2292: Business Skills and Environment cannot be taken abroad.
Courses recommended to take abroad
 BUS MHR 2000: Introduction to International Business is a good course to take abroad unless students are
planning on majoring in International Business.
Specialization Courses: Students planning on taking courses required in their specialization.
 Students can complete up to 3 semester hours of specialization coursework abroad. Students who plan to
take more than 3 semester hours of specialization coursework abroad must meet with an academic advisor
to receive approval.
 Students should not take Accounting courses at foreign institutions since there are differences in American
vs. International accounting systems.
Gen Ed Courses: If the institution you are planning to attend offers Gen Ed courses, you may use courses that are
equivalent to those in the Social Science and Humanities categories of the Gen Ed. Study abroad coursework may
also count towards the Open Option category (no overlap permitted).
Economics Minor: Students must get course approval from the Economics department to use Economics courses
for the minor.
Students may not take courses at OSU while they study abroad on exchange.
If you have questions about how courses taken on exchange can be applied to the business curriculum, you should
schedule an appointment with a full time advisor in the Undergraduate Program and Advising Office. Call 292-2715
to schedule an appointment or to check on walk-in hours.
