International Business
Undergraduate International Business Program

The international business curriculum provides students with the opportunity to focus on the managerial, economic, cultural, political, and social dimensions that will prepare them for functioning in a global business community.  Students study a foreign language, take specific internationally-focused business courses, and take courses outside the business curriculum (for instance, in geography, history, or political science) that relate to the specific area of the world of interest to them.  A second business major is required to fulfill the requirements for the International Business major.  Choose Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Management, or Marketing.
Career opportunities in International Business vary.  Businesses are becoming more global.  Many domestic jobs have international components.  Having an international job will not automatically mean working overseas.  International business graduates are more likely to start in a domestic job and learn about the organization and its products and services before receiving an international assignment.  The international curriculum will better prepare students for overseas assignments and give them a competitive edge over those individuals without this background.
