The American Business School Paris

Pre-Approved Classes

During the term abroad, students must complete 4-5 ABS Paris offerings for 12-15 UVA semester hours. Among those 4-5 courses, Commerce students must complete the UVa-taught "Global Strategy and Value Enhancement" course plus at least two other business courses from the pre-approved list. Those three courses will satisfy your Comm 304, 305, and 306 requirements. Finance and Marketing concentrators will be offered a special section of the required Comm 372 and/or Comm 353 in the fall of their fourth year. It is strongly recommend that students take at least one non-Commerce offering such as "French Civilization" or a French language course. 

NOTE: UVa accepts transfer credit (not grades) for courses taken abroad; however, a course must receive a C or better to transfer credit back to UVA.

Degree Requirements

Any non-business course will transfer as elective hours and satisfy non-Commerce elective credits. Any students needing specific non-Commerce courses for minors or majors in the College must get departmental approval.

NOTE: Courses may not be used to satisfy more than one requirement.  For example, a course may not be taken to satisfy the Comm 304, 305, and 306X core requirements and also be used as a concentration or elective requirement. The only fourth-year concentration requirements that may be taken before completion of the third-year core are for international business. Other business courses will transfer back as Comm 300X electives.
