Optional: Earn a Minor Degree
Students majoring in international business are strongly encouraged to complete a minor in their chosen second language. The international business major requires study of a second language through the conversation level (usually equivalent to 5 semesters). The international business curriculum is set up so that a student will, in most cases, be able to fit the requirements of a language minor into the program of study without extending it. While the Terry College does not allow a minor in any of its departments, some students choose fields other than language to minor in, such as political science. Speak with the international business advisor about how to coordinate minor coursework with the major program of study.
To see a full listing of minor program offerings and detailed requirements, see the UGA undergraduate bulletin.

Optional: Specialize in a Global Region
Students majoring in international business can chose to specialize in a particular country or global region by completing a UGA certificate program. Each of the certificate programs are offered by a different college and have unique requirements, so it is best to decide well ahead of time if you will pursue a particular certification. Speak with the international business advisor about how to coordinate certificate program coursework with the major program of study.
