Is the International Business Course Requirement (IBCR) a separate requirement from the hours required for the degree?
The IBCR is a “separate” requirement that must be met, but hours for this requirement may be used to fulfill another requirement. For example, the international course available in most of the majors as an elective in that major, can be used in Module 5 (the major section), as well as for the IBCR section.
