Timing
Students interested in pursuing Business Analytics elective coursework while abroad should consider:
- Students are only able to take Business Analytics elective coursework after completion of their tracking courses, which is typically after Sophomore year.
- Business Analytics majors are able to go abroad after their first semester of Freshman year if they are only taking general elective courses or Pre-Business core courses.
- Students should not consider studying abroad their final semester at UT, if they hope to graduate in May due to the delay in transcript processing.
Selecting Your Collateral/Concentration
Another option of courses to take abroad are through your collateral/concentration. Please refer to your Haslam Student Handbook for all possible combinations.
The International Business (IB) concentration offers the most flexibility in course availability. Please note:
- All 12 credit hours of IB elective coursework can be taken abroad.
- Business coursework that is international in scope and upper division (300-400 level) can be counted as an IB elective.
- IB courses give students the opportunity to pursue country or region-specific coursework that offers unique insight into international business practices.
