Admission to the IB Program
In order to maintain the quality of the program and to provide the necessary assistance for each student, admission to the international business major is limited to about 25 freshmen each year. Transfers are permitted from within the College or from other institutions on a space-available basis.
Freshmen international business majors are selected by Department of Business faculty. The selection process includes consideration of: (a) motivation and aptitude, (b) preparation for international business study, (c) leadership and communications, and (d) interest in international business.
Prospective students who are interested
in pursuing a degree in IB need to specify their intended major on
their application form and submit the application with all supporting
documentation to the Director of Admissions before March 15. Applications
received after March 15 will only be considered on a space available
basis and will not be eligible for Department of Business scholarships.
The Admissions Office will first examine all completed applications
to select the accepted students to the College. We will then send
a copy of the IB Application
Questionnaire to accepted students who have expressed an interest
in International Business and are accepted to the College. Upon the
return of the questionnaire, we will then evaluate each of the completed
files and notify all applicants on the status of their applications
into the IB program.
Admission to the international business program does not imply that a student is guaranteed completion of the entire course of study. Generally, a student needs a 3.0 grade point average to qualify for a study abroad program which is a requirement for graduation in this major.

Hossein Varamini, program director.
