The International Business major is designed to prepare students for the increasingly international nature of business. Compared to other business majors, this one provides greater emphasis on knowledge and skills that are needed to conduct business in an international setting. This includes issues concerned with accomplishing organizational objectives through the coordination of human, material, information, and financial resources across national boundaries. In addition to studying the core business courses, students in this major will receive a broad exposure to the complexity of international business through required course work in international business, international culture, a foreign language, and a study abroad experience. In addition to preparing students for an international business environment, the major aims to provide them with knowledge of a specific business discipline by requiring the completion of all the requirements for a second business major. As a result, students meet the University requirements for a concurrent major. Graduates of the INT B major should be better prepared to function effectively as employees of small businesses with developing international operations or as members of larger business organizations with extensive global operations.

This major offers students a business degree coupled with strong computer and information management skills. Management Information Systems differs from computer science in several ways. In Management Information Systems, the emphasis is on the solution of business problems rather than on the creation of new knowledge about computing. Where computer science emphasizes the study of computers and computer programming as ends in themselves, Management Information Systems emphasizes the application of information technology within an organization to help achieve its goals. Skills include the analysis of information management needs, design of systems, and practical technical knowledge, including database management, communications, and programming. The major adheres to the Association for Computing Machinery's curriculum recommendations, as well as to the guidelines proposed by the Data Processing Management Association's model curriculum.
Graduates in this field may find employment opportunities with large and small organizations in both the public and private sectors. Typical entry-level positions include programmer/analyst, user support specialist, or database analyst. Long-term career opportunities include manager of information services, chief information officer, partner in a consulting firm, and executive-level management. Management Information Systems graduates are regarded as assets to a firm because they have the necessary skills both to understand business problems and to apply appropriate technology to gain strategic advantage.
Entry to Major Requirements:
Entry to the Management Information Systems major requires the completion of
8 entry-to-major courses: ACCTG 211(4); B A 243(4) or B A 241(2) and B A 242(2);

GQ(4) or MATH 140 GQ(4); MIS 204(3); STAT 200 GQ(4) or SCM 200 GQ(4), and a 2.00
or higher cumulative grade-point average.
For the B.S. degree in Management Information Systems, a minimum of 122 credits is required. Each student must earn at least a grade of C in each 300- and 400-level course in the major field.

PROFESSOR DAN GIVOLY, Chair of the Department of Accounting
This major helps prepare students for careers in public, industrial, or governmental accounting and also provides an appropriate background for those planning to enter law school or graduate school. Public accounting is carried on by independent practitioners, most of whom are certified public accountants. In addition to independent audits, CPAs render accounting, tax, and management advisory services. The credit requirements to sit for the CPA examination in Pennsylvania and many other states are automatically met by completing the prescribed curriculum. However, there are exceptions, including New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Texas. For more detailed information, see brochures in the department office.
The industrial accountant, as an executive in a business firm, is in charge of designing and supervising the financial and managerial accounting system, including the preparation and analysis of reports. Many are now taking the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam. It is a two-day exam covering economics, finance, management, decision analysis, information systems, and accounting. Governmental accountants occupy positions in federal, state, and local government and perform services similar to those of public or industrial accountants.
Entrance Requirement: To be eligible for entrance into the Accounting major, a degree candidate must be enrolled in the Smeal College of Business or the Division of Undergraduate Studies and satisfy requirements for entrance to the major.
Specific entrance requirements include:
For the B.S. degree in Accounting, a minimum of 120 credits is required with at least 15 credits at the 400 level.

PROFESSOR ARNOLD F. SHAPIRO, in charge
An actuary is a business professional who uses mathematical skills to define, analyze, and solve business and social problems. Actuaries generally are employed in life, health, and casualty insurance companies, consulting firms, and government.
The courses in the Actuarial Science major stress the application of mathematical and statistical concepts to the measurement of life and other contingencies, while at the same time giving the student a broad understanding of the business environment.
Actuarial Science majors are encouraged to begin the series of professional examinations leading to Associateship and Fellowship in either the Society of Actuaries (A.S.A./F.S.A.) or the Casualty Actuarial Society (A.C.A.S./F.C.A.S.). Graduating students will have studied four of the six subjects that must be passed to qualify as an A.S.A. and four of the seven subjects needed to qualify as an A.C.A.S. They commonly have passed at least the first two parts of these professional examinations by the time they graduate.
Entrance Requirement: To be eligible for entrance into the Actuarial Science major, a degree candidate must be enrolled in the Smeal College of Business or the Division of Undergraduate Studies and satisfy requirements for entrance to the major.
Specific entrance requirements include:
For the B.S. degree in Actuarial Science, a minimum of 130 credits is required with at least 15 credits at the 400 level.

The Bachelor of Science in Business (B.S.B.) is an upper-division, professionally oriented business degree for individuals who are seeking general preparation in business. The degree combines the theoretical underpinnings of core business disciplines, notably management, marketing, finance, and logistics, with applied study in a practical setting, especially the small-business climates across most of the Commonwealth. Through the choice of an 18-credit option, students develop a specialty related to a key business sector. Students also develop written and oral communication skills throughout the program, acquire contemporary computer skills, and engage in active and collaborative learning. The degree allows students throughout the Commonwealth to become familiar with the unique business environments of their local communities, a design that sets the degree apart from other business degrees offered both within the University and throughout the Commonwealth.
The associate degree in business administration at Penn State articulates with the degree. Advanced-standing students from other accredited colleges or universities will be admitted only with specified grade-point averages established annually in accordance with University policy.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPTION (offered only at the Altoona College): Preparation for a variety of entrepreneurial careers from starting a new business venture to working as an entrepreneur within a larger organization.
FINANCIAL SERVICES OPTION: Preparation for positions in community financial organizations such as banks, real estate firms, insurance brokers, investment firms, and credit companies.
HEALTH SERVICES OPTION: Development of a background in the financial and administrative aspects of health care enterprises such as hospitals, managed-care organizations, clinical practices, and physicians' offices.
INDIVIDUALIZED BUSINESS OPTION: The selection of 18 credits of study based on an individualized plan of study submitted by the student and approved by an adviser. The option allows the tailoring of a program of study to suit specific student needs.
MARKETING AND MANAGEMENT OPTION: An emphasis on the skills and knowledge necessary for the business professional to function in community and regional centers of commerce.
