International Business Program

The International Business Program is a double major. It prepares students for leadership roles in global business by combining in-depth study in a Business major with an internationally-focused major in the Arts & Sciences. Through coursework in two majors and a culminating capstone, students will develop the analytical, strategic, and communication skills necessary to navigate the complexities of international business. A required international experience will strengthen their cultural competencies and further prepare them for exciting roles in the global economy.
