globalization of commerce and provides students with the global
skills necessary for success in the borderless world of 21st
century business. The program includes a mandated summer
study-abroad semester between their junior and senior years,
two full semesters of language, and the option of a summerabroad
international business practicum in the semester after
graduation.
Students entering the international business program will be
classified as pre-international business until such time as they
earn a cumulative GPA of 2.75 for a minimum of 60 credit hours
(15 credit hours earned at Florida Tech for transfer students with
an associate degree or equivalent). Students without a 2.75 GPA
by the second semester of the junior year (15 credit hours for
