A major in International Business (IB) provides students with the tools to succeed in today’s global environment.  The business arena where the College's graduates will be working is no longer local, regional, or national. It is international and requires an understanding and sensitivity to different cultures and business environments. The program embraces three different levels of analysis. These three levels of analysis are as follows.
Program Highlights
-
Global Citizen:Â First, at the individual level, students learn to identify, comprehend, and manage cross-cultural differences between individuals. As global citizens, students learn to build on cultural differences, learn to be proactive on an international level, and generate new business solutions accordingly.
-
Multinational Enterprise: At the business discipline level, the program builds on the knowledge of business subjects that are taught in the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) core. The IB major will advance students’ understanding by teaching them the intricacies of the global marketplace. The IB major builds on these core business subjects and teaches students how each business subject operates in an international business setting.Â
-
International Context:Â Finally, the international context inherent to international business helps students identify economic trends, rules of law, and policy shifts in the global landscape. Students will be able to understand and respond to the changes of formal and informal institutions of nations and how these changes influence the way multinational enterprises conduct business internationally.
