The Bachelor of Science in International Business degree is intended for students who wish to learn more about the international aspects of business. It provides preparation for a broad range of careers in business, including accounting, management, marketing, economics, information systems, finance, retail, and supply chain management. This degree is also well suited for students wishing to continue their studies in law, international affairs, or graduate education in business and economics.
This degree requires completion of the University Core and Walton College Core courses, as well as course work in international business, a single foreign language and an area of study related to that language. In addition, students must select a concentration in one of the following areas: accounting, business economics, information systems, finance, general business, management, marketing, retail or supply chain management.
Students pursuing a degree in the Sam M. Walton College of Business are classified as pre-business with an intended concentration until all pre-business requirements are fulfilled. For admission into the intended concentration, a student must obtain at least a 2.50 (on a 4.00 scale) overall grade-point average, in addition to the completion of all pre-business core courses listed elsewhere in the catalog (or equivalents), also with a minimum 2.50 grade-point average. Further, a student must earn a grade of “C” or better in each of the pre-business core courses for admission into the major or for the graduation requirement.
The International Business degree program has eight concentrations:
- Accounting
- Business Economics
- Finance
- General Business
- Information Systems
- Management
- Marketing
- Retail
- Supply Chain Management
In the eight-semester degree program for each concentration, the first four semesters of each of concentration are exactly the same.
Graduation Requirements for the B.S.I.B. Degree
Each student must have a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average in each of the following areas: all work completed at this university, all courses in the business core, and all designated international business courses/functional concentration/world language courses. In addition, students must earn a grade of “C” or better in each of the pre-business core courses.
Courses that are required in either Walton College or the international business core and also are required in one of the business concentrations cannot be used to satisfy both requirements. For example, students who take FINN 3703 to satisfy the finance concentration requirements cannot also use it to satisfy the international business requirements.

Students who, on the basis of prior knowledge of language, omit one or both courses in the intermediate language sequence — at 2003 and 2013 level — may receive degree credit for omitted courses if they validate their higher placement by passing the business language course (or equivalent) with a grade of “C” or above. Students with no previous foreign language training or only rudimentary knowledge of a foreign language will be required to complete up to six hours of elementary foreign language. Students whose native language is not English but is taught at the University of Arkansas must select a third language from the list below, or substitute six hours of upper-division English language courses (i.e., speech, writing, or U.S. literature), to be selected with the consent of the department chair.
