third digit after the decimal point (if shown).

of the session
Suspension. A student will be suspended from the University under

1. At the end of a semester of probation, the student has failed to
regain good academic standing.
2. At the end of any semester, the student has a semester GPA of less
than 1.00. (This regulation applies regardless of the student’s resident GPA.)

University for a specified period of time. A first suspension is for the
period of one semester. Any degree-seeking student who wishes to
return to the University after the expiration of the suspension must
1
make formal application for readmittance through the Admissions
office. Special Students who wish to return to the University after the
expiration of a suspension may register through the Registrar’s office.

fails to regain good academic standing by the end of the first semester
after readmittance, a second suspension will be incurred. The second
suspension is for a period of one year.
A student who has been suspended for academic reasons may request
a review by a faculty committee of the College in which the student was
enrolled. If the student can show that extenuating circumstances existed,
the committee may recommend to the Associate Dean of the College that
the student be reinstated.

COMPREHENSIVE MAJOR: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS (Code 850-001)
The International Business major is an inter-disciplinary program. The major provides an understanding of the business
world and the global economy in a manner that will enrich the business degree program. The economic and business
decisions made by businesses and governments around the world have a profound impact on us. The International Business major provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively compete in a global workplace. The
major includes an international experience requirement that may be a study abroad, international internship, or an
internationally-oriented internship done with a company located in the U.S. In addition to the required courses, students
will also take several elective courses in general education disciplines such as art history, anthropology, geography,
history and religious studies. For many college graduates, an international business career represents images of a fast
paced life filled with glamour and intrigue associated with living outside of the United States. Entry level positions in
international business for new college graduates are often in locations within the United States; mid-level positions often
involve travel to other countries. Employees with the most experience or skills receive the overseas assignments, having
the academic background and knowledge in international business is a criterion for selection of expatriates. Typically,
four types of organizations seek individuals to work internationally: multinational corporations, international trade and
economic development organizations, non-profit and humanitarian organizations, and government agencies. Students in
the College of Business are also strongly encouraged to combine the international business major with a second
major and consider a double major in a functional business area such as management, marketing, accounting or
finance. The College of Business currently offers major programs in accounting, finance, management, marketing and
information systems in addition to international business.
Requirements for the International Business Major

COMPREHENSIVE MAJOR: ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION, Liberal Arts (Code 375-001)
The Organizational Leadership and Communication (OLC) Comprehensive Major is a 60-credit online degree completion program designed for individuals who
have completed the Associate of Arts and Science (AAS) degree in the UW Colleges, comparable Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees elsewhere, or
comparable coursework.
The OLC includes three seminars of three credits each and 51 credits of courses specifically designed to meet the needs of community and organizational leaders.
The curriculum develops students' ability to apply the knowledge and skills gained to professional settings so they can define and solve problems ethically, write and
speak proficiently, seek out and analyze data needed for effective decision making, understand communities at all levels, and collaborate and lead effectively in their
workplaces and communities. UW-Eau Claire hallmarks such as the capstone course, student/faculty collaborative research, and service learning are available to the
students and, in the case of the capstone course and service-learning, are required in the OLC Comprehensive Major.
In order to graduate with an Organizational Leadership and Communication Comprehensive Major, students must complete the requirements specified for the
Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS) (see degree program requirements for the College of Arts and Sciences). The BPS degree provides an opportunity for students
to focus on the liberal arts and sciences throughout completion of the Bachelor's degree, building on the study of the liberal arts and sciences achieved in earlier course
work.
Admission to Major Requirement: Completion of the AAS degree in UW Colleges or completion of an Associate degree in liberal studies comparable to the AAS
degree, or comparable coursework. Students who have a significant number of credits but no Associate degree will have their portfolios evaluated for admission
consideration.
