Culture, Global, International Studies, Management, foreign
The certificate program in international business studies is designed to help students develop competence in a foreign language and a sensitivity to foreign cultures. It provides students with an awareness of global social processes and an understanding of international business environments, principles and operations.
The W. P. Carey School of Business has partnerships with universities all over the world, so students can experience new cultures, visit new places and build intercultural and language skills. International internships also are offered in conjunction with the ASU Global Education Office.
This certificate program requires a minimum of 18 credit hours (at least 12 credit hours must be upper division). All business coursework must be completed through the W. P. Carey School of Business or through an approved ASU international study program.
Only courses in which a student receives a grade of "C" (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) or better may be used to meet the certificate requirements, and an overall certificate GPA of at least 2.50 must be earned.
Students must meet all course prerequisites and requirements as listed in the ASU catalog. Requirements must be met within one year after degree conferral date.
No more than six credit hours may be shared between the certificate and other degree programs, minors, and/or other certificates.
International Business Core Course -- 3 credit hours
A. International Business Electives -- 6 credit hours
*300+ level WPC subject courses earned on a sponsored ASU study abroad program may be applied toward the elective area, per approval of the international programs coordinator. Courses applied toward the W. P. Carey business core cannot be used toward the elective area.

Notes: These hours may be satisfied by any combination of the following:
1. Students can choose any of the university-designated nonbusiness Global Communities, Societies and Individuals (GCSI) courses.
2. One course must be upper division to meet the 12 upper-division hours requirement.
3. It is recommended to choose courses related to the area of study abroad experience. Additional courses may be approved by the international program coordinator.
4. Nonbusiness Global Communities, Societies and Individuals (GCSI) hours may also be satisfied by:
* An ASU or W. P. Carey School of Business education abroad program earning six credit hours or more fulfills six of the credit hours of nonbusiness Global Communities, Societies and Individuals requirements.
* An ASU or W. P. Carey School of Business education abroad program earning three credit hours fulfills three of the credit hours of nonbusiness Global Communities, Societies and Individuals requirements.
C. Foreign Language Proficiency
The certificate program requires students to meet a foreign language proficiency by meeting one of the the following:
- Completion of one year (two semesters) of the same foreign language at the college level.
- Completion of one semester of the equivalent of 101- and 102-level coursework.

- Documentation of a proficiency or placement test confirming preparedness to start at least the second year of a foreign language (201 level or above).
- A student whose native language is not English may have this requirement waived.
D. International Study Experience
The certificate program requires students to participate in an ASU Global Education Office sponsored program. Students cannot use independent non-sponsored programs to fulfill this requirement. Sponsored programs can be found on the
Global Education Office website.

Enrollment requirements
▲
No more than six credit hours may be shared between the certificate and other degree programs, minors or other certificates.
A student pursuing an undergraduate certificate must be enrolled as a degree-seeking student at ASU. Undergraduate certificates are not awarded prior to the award of an undergraduate degree. A student already holding an undergraduate degree may pursue an undergraduate certificate as a nondegree-seeking graduate student.
Students can advance their career options with an undergraduate certificate. The certificate in international business enables students to develop additional competencies that complement the marketable knowledge and skills they acquire in their majors.
Students who complete this undergraduate certificate often decide to pursue employment in management, sales, marketing and communication. Advanced degrees or certifications may be required for academic or clinical positions.
What are accelerated programs?
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and
how to apply.
What are concurrent programs?
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
What are joint programs?
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
What constitutes a new program?
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the “New Programs” option.
What are online programs?
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See
https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
What is the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)?
The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) is a program in which residents of western states (other than Arizona) may be eligible for reduced nonresident tuition. See more information and eligibility requirements on the
Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program.
Students from western states who select this major may be eligible for a reduced nonresident tuition rate of 150 percent of Arizona resident tuition plus all applicable fees. See more information and eligibility requirements on the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program

Students pursuing concurrent degrees earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. ASU offers students two ways to earn concurrent degrees: by choosing a predetermined combination or creating their own combination. Predetermined combinations have a single admissions application and one easy to follow major map. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor. Either way, concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests.
Concurrent degree programs are specially designed academic programs which provide high-achieving undergraduate students the opportunity to complete two distinct but complementary bachelor degrees at the same time. Students must meet minimum admissions standards for both programs and be accepted individually by both colleges offering the concurrent program.

A rolling deadline means that applications will continue to be reviewed on a regular basis until the semester begins. International students should be mindful of visa deadlines to ensure there is time to produce necessary visa documents. Applicants are encouraged to complete and submit application materials as soon as possible for consideration.
A final deadline means that all applications and application materials must be received by Graduate Admissions by the deadline date. Applications that are incomplete may not be considered after the final deadline. Applications that are submitted past the final deadline may not be considered.
A priority deadline means that applications submitted and completed before the priority deadline will receive priority consideration. Applications submitted after the priority deadlines will be reviewed in the order in which they were completed and on a space available basis. An application is complete after all materials are received by Graduate Admissions.
