p. 198 International Business Minor
There is an error in the new catalogue on page 195, left hand column under the International Business
minor, second paragraph, second line, “and either a semester studying abroad or an international
internship” should not be there. That requirement is no longer true. Bob Sutton, Associate Dean, COB,
5/9/2012.
International Business Minor
The International Business Minor is designed to enable students
to enhance their perspective of the business environment as a global,
rather than local, enterprise. Completion of the minor should add value
to any major at UW-Eau Claire.
The minor requires foreign language competence at the 201 level
and either a semester studying abroad or an international internship.
Advanced business courses taken during a study abroad semester will
replace the directed study or independent study options listed below.
This minor was designed to complement the UW-Eau Claire Global
Studies Minor and to enhance all majors at UW-Eau Claire. Dr. Rama
Yelkur (Schneider 300F) and Ms. Abbie Windsor (Schneider 119) are the
advisers for students seeking the International Business minor. The minor
requires students to meet College of Business admission requirements.

Students should consult their faculty advisers and develop degree plans as early as possible, so that
requirements can be met without delaying graduation. The Registrar’s Office provides a Degree Audit
for each student at the beginning of each registration period.

p. 3 and under Dean of Students section (from Brian Carlisle, J.D., Dean of Students):
The UW System office has given final approval on the publication of the new student conduct code, the
Blugold Code. This new code merges Chapters UWS 14 (Student Academic Misconduct) & 17 (Student
Non-Academic Misconduct) into one document, but it does not change the rights and responsibilities
articulated in those separate documents.
The processes and protections afforded students by Chapters 14 & 17 are retained in the Blugold Code.
They were merged to help simplify and streamline understanding of our discipline processes. Students
will be sent notification of this new change shortly. Student Academic Misconduct information is
available on our webpage at http://www.uwec.edu/DOS/policies/academic/index.htm. Student NonAcademic Misconduct is available at http://www.uwec.edu/DOS/policies/Conduct.htm.
