(AP) - Students will have several ways to fulfill the requirement.

Besides traditional study-abroad programs, they can choose a
short-term program between semesters or take a course that includes
a foreign component.

      A faculty group pushed for the requirement as a way to make sure
students understand that global business is a reality. 

Group member
Kevin Upton says it's a way to give Minnesota students a broader
perspective "outside of the 494/694 loop."

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Upton about the new requirement.
