International Business

The undergraduate international business major prepares future business leaders for the rapidly changing global economy, with a focus on developing skills to effectively navigate language and cultural issues in the business environment. The major requires a second major in one of the functional areas of business, proficiency in a second language, a study abroad experience and coursework in international business. 

At the graduate level, students in our top-ranked, part-time MBA program may specialize in international business by completing relevant coursework and participating one of the program鈥檚 short-term study abroad opportunities.

Program highlights

  • In collaboration with the Applied Investment Management program, international business majors with second majors in finance or accounting may apply to the International Applied Investment Management Program.
