The cross-curricular undergraduate major in international business gives students a broad knowledge of the global business arena, to prepare them for careers in our increasingly interdependent world. Fluency in a second language is stressed, and students complement their studies in the classroom with a study-abroad experience.
International Business majors learn how to apply a global perspective to the fundamental disciplines of business (i.e. finance, management, marketing, etc.) for organizations whose business transactions cross national borders. It is critical for students to understand how these organizations are impacted by market opportunities, competition, demand for raw materials, low labor costs, and government regulations. Career opportunities include: International Account Executive, International Trade Specialist, Government Relations Manager, Foreign Diplomat, Foreign Correspondent, Exchange Trader, Importer/Exporter, Linguist/Interpreter, and Negotiator.
