International Business

The opening of markets abroad has created new opportunities for internationalizing a firm’s operation. The International Business program combines a strong background in language skills with business. All students concentrate in one of the functional areas of business such as marketing, finance, etc. This degree represents a blend for those who wish for a stronger liberal arts foundation than is typically available in a business degree. Career opportunities in IB typically relate to the area of business concentration. For instance, those students concentrating in finance typically take positions in banks or other financial institutions, corporations or investment firms. Once a student has secured the entry position and gained some experience, they are then able to move into an international position within the firm. IB students are strongly urged to participate in an overseas experience. While not required, we do believe that such experiences are valuable to IB students. Academic credit may be earned for such international experiences.
