These courses must be taken in addition to the upper level GST and Advanced Study courses already required, and may not also count for any other courses in the student’s program of study. Advisors may assist students in the selection of appropriate courses which should enhance the subject matter of the IB concentration. Courses selected are subject to approval by the IB coordinator.
Intermediate proficiency in a modern foreign language is a concurrent requirement of the concentration. Proficiency can be demonstrated either by achieving an intermediate-mid level rating on an Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) or a Simulated Oral Proficiency Interview (SOPI), by passing a modern foreign language course at the 221 level, or by placement in the language at or above the 222 level.
