Go the distance
Do you want to explore other cultures and travel while pursuing a business career? Then you’re in for an exciting journey. Graduates of our program go far in their careers, finding jobs with multi-national corporations, import/export businesses, government and non-government organizations.
With expertise in global industrial, retail, commercial nonprofit and government sectors, our faculty will guide you every step of the way. You’ll complete a dual major, combining a business discipline (accounting, finance, management or marketing) with supplementary coursework (international economics and finance, international marketing and cross-cultural management). Courses in international relations, anthropology or foreign languages will enhance your success.
Professors and mentors invested in your personal and professional development will advise on study abroad programs tailored to your interests. Our partnership with international institutions allows students to build leadership skills, travel and establish contacts.

International Business Courses
