Students
(last modified 8/6/98)
Although not a program requirement, the International Business ( IB)
student has the opportunity to obtain a minor in numerous other disciplines,
including Foreign Language (FL), other business disciplines, as well as
some recently developed minors, each of which is described below, followed
by a description of the procedure for declaring a minor.
Foreign Language (FL)

Business Minors
The IB student may obtain a minor in another business discipline, including
the following: Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Finance,
Human Resource Management, Marketing, Microcomputer (PC) Applications,
and Advertising / Communications. The requirements for a minor in
each of these other business disciplines are listed in the Gannon Undergraduate
Catalog, on pp. 138-9 of the 1998-99 edition. These business minors
require between 15 and 18 credit hours of course work in the minor discipline,
some of which are also a part of the Business
Core; others could also be used to satisfy the free
electives and/or international
business electives components of the IB
curriculum. Thus, none of the business minors would necessitate
course work beyond the 129 credit hours required for the IB degree.
It is understood that the same course can be used to satisfy both a minor
requirement as well as a major requirement.
Other minors of
interest
The IB major may also be interested in the following two new minors:
-
Webmaster
Minor, which focuses on the managing of people who design, implement
and manage corporate Web sites and are responsible for developing relevant
on line content.
-
Leadership Minor,
which provides students with knowledge and leadership building skills,
coupled with practical applications essential to becoming an effective
community and organizational leader.
Procedure
for declaring a minor
Students interested in a minor are advised to consult with their advisor
prior to the advanced registration period for the Fall semester of their
junior year. If interested, they must then complete a "Declaration
of Minor" form which must be signed by the minor director/chairperson and
may be obtained in the office of the Dean, College of Humanities, Business
and Education ( A. J. Palumbo Center 1202).
