Abstract	We revisit the issue of internationalizing the required course in business statistics as a means for introducing international subject matter earlier in the undergraduate business curriculum. A survey of sophomore business students indicates that their level of international knowledge is poor. The results are strikingly similar to a decade ago. Moreover, an examination of a sample of twenty current business statistics textbooks shows little improvement in the extent of international coverage over the last ten years. It appears that an unmet need to impart international information earlier to undergraduate business students still exists, and that the required course in business statistics remains a viable option for this purpose. We include sources of relevant international data for suggested use in course examples and exercises. (Contains 7 tables.) (As Provided).
