International Business?

Are you Honors or Capstone? From what I understand, they’re automatically accepted into the business school. Otherwise, all students are business majors and being an international business major is conditional. You have to apply and be accepted.

So, I don’t think it’s really an issue if you’re not Honors of Capstone. If you are, then you may just be like everyone else and have to apply for the program later on.

Also. I should note. Do NOT count on getting into a Spanish class. I wanted to take Spanish 109 (beginning Spanish) this year, and I had something like 50 credits and wasn’t able to get in. All of the Spanish 109 classes filled up within a day or two of registration starting, so if you’re an incoming freshman, there’s almost no way you’ll get into a class. In addition, they only offer 109 in the fall, so you’d be a second semester junior before you got into 200+ class, which makes it really difficult to complete the language requirements for the IB major on time. (If you took sophomore 109/110, junior 122)

If you want to do Spanish, I’d consider taking it in summer school at a local community college so that you could maybe place into 121 or 122 (which are offered both semesters).

I work in the language department, and they generally don’t offer overrides for Spanish unless you’re a Spanish major, so it’s a really hard class to get into at the early levels.
