COMPREHENSIVE MAJOR: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS (Code 850-001)
The International Business major is an inter-disciplinary program. The major provides an understanding of the business world and the global economy in a manner that will enrich the business degree program.The economic and business decisions made by businesses and governments around the world have a profound impact on us. The International Business major provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively compete in a global workplace.The major includes an international experience requirement that may be a study abroad, international internship, or an internationally-oriented internship done with a company located in the U.S. In addition to the required courses, students will also take several elective courses in general education disciplines such as art history, anthropology, geography, history and religious studies. For many college graduates, an international business career represents images of a fast paced life filled with glamour and intrigue associated with living outside of the United States. Entry level positions in international business for new college graduates are often in locations within the United States; mid-level positions often involve travel to other countries. Employees with the most experience or skills receive the overseas assignments, having the academic background and knowledge in international business is a criterion for selection of expatriates. Typically, four types of organizations seek individuals to work internationally: multinational corporations, international trade and economic development organizations, non-profit and humanitarian organizations, andgovernment agencies. Students in the College of Business are also strongly encouraged to combine the international business major with a second major and consider a double major in a functional business area such as management, marketing, accounting or finance.The College of Business currently offers major programs in accounting, finance, management, marketing and information systems in addition to international business.
