Certificate in International Business (continued)
1. Any courses that have been approved for transfer credit are eligible. All prerequisites must be
successfully completed prior to enrolling in these courses. At least 6 credits of coursework (either to
complete this certificate or their degree) must be earned in an MTU approved international exchange
program outside the U. S. For example, BA3700 Organizational Behavior could be taken in France
and be eligible to meet this requirement if the course is approved for transfer credit. This
requirement is waived for international students.
2. Any courses in an approved international exchange program in language can be applied to meet the
language requirement. Students with advanced placement in language must take an additional 6
credits of advanced language or a second language. International students for whom English is a
second language can waive this requirement.
3. Any SS/HU with a non-U. S. or with an international focus, taken in an approved international
exchange program, can be applied to meet the SS/HU requirements. For example, a course in
Japanese culture and society taken in Japan would be eligible.
4. If a student chooses to take a third and fourth semester of language study, they must be of the same
language.
