The School of Modern Languages and the Scheller College of Business offer an interdisciplinary minor in international business, language, and culture (ILBC). The minor is comprised of both advanced management courses and advanced courses in a foreign language and is designed to prepare students for global leadership by equipping students with the fundamentals of business and the ability to communicate across different languages.
For additional information, please contact the minor's advisor, Mirla González (mgonzalez96@gatech.edu).
