Course Information

Foreign Culture Courses — If you are in the ISTBS major, you are required to complete a certain number of Foreign Culture credits. These courses focus on the cultural aspects of non-Western cultures and civilizations. This is different from the US/IL General Education requirement for all Penn State students.

Support of Option Courses — If you are in the ISTBS major, you must complete an additional 12 credits to fulfill the Support of Option. These courses are meant to provide you with knowledge that you may put to practical use in a work environment or future academic endeavors.
