To apply for MKTG 490: Promotion Project, see details below.

BIE stands for Broadening, International, and Experiential. Every business major falls into one of the categories below.

1. Business students with a single concentration take a Broadening course and either an International or Experiential course.
2. Business students with two or more concentrations take either an International or Experiential course with these exceptions:
   1. Students with an International Business concentration take either a Broadening, Experiential or 200-level or higher language course.
   2. Students with a concentration in Entrepreneurship and Innovation take a Broadening or an International course.
3. Economics majors are not required to take a Broadening, International, or Experiential course.
4. Accounting majors who do not have a business concentration are not required to take a Broadening, International, or Experiential course.
5. Accounting majors who have a business concentration such as finance take either an International or Experiential course.

A course taken to fulfill a concentration requirement may not be double-counted to satisfy a requirement in the Broadening, International, or Experiential area.

BROADENING
A broadening course is any 300 or 400-level business course not required by the student’s concentration and offered outside the concentration area. For example, MKTG 315 would be a broadening course for a finance concentration.
