International Business (B.S.)
With the increased globalization of our world, international business is becoming an important — and popular — area of study. Our flexible international business program offers a multidisciplinary education in the global business environment, preparing you to work anywhere in the world.
As an international business major, you will take core business courses, five required international business courses and two elective international business courses. You must also demonstrate competency in a foreign language, and an undergraduate international experience is required.
If you are interested in international business but do not want to major in this field, you may minor in international business. You can also earn a certificate in international business with an emphasis in either marketing and human resources or economics and finance. Additional requirements for the certificate include proficiency in a foreign language and an international experience.
In addition to University-wide education abroad programs, the School of Business Administration offers several programs during the summer sessions designed specifically for business majors. You can study business in cities such as Augsburg, Germany; Barcelona, Spain; Dublin, Ireland; Rome, Italy; and several others. All courses except language courses are taught in English.
You can also explore the business world and gain real-world experience before you graduate. Valuable professional opportunities such as internships and co-ops are available, and you will receive significant assistance in obtaining them.
The School of Business Administration's undergraduate and graduate programs are accredited by AACSB International — The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
