Business Core

Planning
Planning your Program: 

Some COB students choose to spend a semester abroad during their Sophomore year which means that they need to take Business Core and General Education requirements.  Listed below are some possible options for Business Core coursework.   It is suggested that students save 1 or 2 LSE requirements for their study abroad program. It may be possible to satisfy an ILE, Science Inquiry, or Quantitative Literacy course but this requires more advanced planning. 

Advising: 

Students should speak to their UCO advisor and the COB advising office regarding their study abroad plans. 

Key questions to ask?

  • What are my remaining degree requirements?
  • What are the prereqs for the Core courses that I want to take abroad?
  • When will I apply for admission to the COB?
  • What remaining admission requirements must I fulfill, and how will study abroad impact my progress?
  • Which of my remaining degree requirements could I complete abroad? Are there any that I cannot take abroad?
Programs

Listed below are some possible options for completing COB core requirements abroad during a semester program.  This is not an exhaustive list of semester programs.  When planning a study abroad students should also consider department faculty-led programs and summer partner programs.  

When taking a COB core course abroad students must have met any required Appalachian prerequisites to receive credit for the course.
