International Business Communications

The International Communication Minor will help students develop an understanding of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural issues involved in international communication. Since different nations are associated with different languages and cultures, international communication is inseparable from intercultural communication. This minor will explore issues involved in interaction between speakers from different backgrounds and will equip them with conceptual tools to explore those issues.

The degree consists of 12 credits. At least 9 credits must be completed at Florida International University. A grade of “C” or higher is required in all courses counted towards the minor.

Students who complete the International Communication Minor, also satisfy the four (4) global learning courses requirement toward the Excellence in Global Learning Medallion.
