The international business major equips students with analytical skills and conceptual models to comprehend global financial, political, and economic systems. This program explores how these systems impact corporate strategy and operations, the influence of cultural factors on business decisions, and how companies can utilize domestic and foreign resources to address multinational management challenges. The curriculum examines international business through three connected lenses: global economics and finance, worldwide marketing, and international corporate strategy. Those wishing to specialize can focus their elective courses primarily on international finance, global strategy, or cross-cultural marketing.
This discipline prepares graduates for foundational roles in global enterprises, including multinational companies, international financial institutions, and government bodies. Potential employers range from the Export-Import Bank and Overseas Private Investment Corporation to U.S. government departments like Commerce, State, and Treasury, as well as global organizations such as the World Bank and International Finance Corporation.
