Why study International Business?
The International Business major is for students with career
objectives in the management of global business
organizations. The major concentrates on the global theories
and principles of international economics, management,
finance, human resource management and marketing. It
focuses on the roles of multinational enterprises in both the
host country as well as the world economy.
Students who complete the International Business major will:
• Understand how differences in customs and cultures affect
businesses operating in the international arena;
• Understand the basic differences between the risks faced
by domestic and multinational firms including transaction
exposure, operating exposure and accounting exposure;
• Have a basic knowledge of how to manage these risks.
• Have an appreciation for the foreign exchange markets
including their participants, size, functions and impacts on
international business.
• Gain an appreciation of how social and political factors
influence global business.
The International Business minor is recommended for students
who wish to work in organizations that are engaged in global
business activities and want to be prepared to meet the
challenges of ever-increasing global interdependence.
