Justification for the new course or for changes to an existing course. (Note: Justification should emphasize academic rationale for the change or new course. This is particularly important for courses requesting upper-division status.)
Study abroad provides
students with a unique opportunity for high impact, high intensity learning in a
classroom setting in an international setting. The practice of business
administration in the United States increasingly emphasizes convergence with
international standards. The student, in collaboration with a partner
institution, would complete a course that, in substance, is the equivalent of
our international business course. This course affords the student to enroll in
a course abroad independently and receive, through this separate course
designation, elective credit in business administration at Weber State.
BSAD 4850 is designed to help the Goddard School of Business and Economics
achieve the Learning Outcome: Global Viewpoints with the learning objectives A.
Understand norms and protocol that differentiate business practices among
countries and B. Demonstrate a moderate level of global competency.
