Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: All Programs

Offered by: College of Business Administration, International Business and Marketing Department

The International Business subplan provides students a solid grounding in the principles of business management as well as interdisciplinary specialization in areas required to understand and react to today’s globalized markets. The objectives of this subplan are twofold: to provide students with the business knowledge and skills essential for careers in international business; and to provide them with an understanding and appreciation of the culture, language, economics, politics, and history of other parts of the world, with particular emphasis on a geographic area in which the student has a special career interest. The curriculum requires completion of the business core which provides to all business majors a foundation in the theory and practice of modern business management. In addition, the International Business subplan requires completion of a minor in a functional area of business (e.g. accounting, finance, management, etc.) or, as an alternative to a minor in business, an option in International Studies directed electives or a foreign language.

Each student should work closely with the program advisor in identifying career goals and selecting course work most appropriate for goal attainment. The International Business subplan involves the completion of requirements in each of the following areas:

  1. Core Courses in Major required of all Business majors
  2. International Business required courses
  3. Support and Elective courses
  4. Functional Specialization
  5. General Education
