The Global Business program is available exclusively as a secondary major. This complementary field integrates international business coursework with language instruction and overseas study opportunities, equipping students for leadership roles in tomorrow's diverse, multicultural global marketplace. Pursuing Global Business as a second major amplifies business students' capabilities, enhancing their primary specialization (such as accounting, business administration, finance, management, marketing, or management information systems). This dual-major approach enables students to cultivate specialized expertise through their primary major while developing cross-cultural leadership skills and global business acumen through their secondary focus. The Global Business curriculum strengthens students' capacity to navigate international business settings, deepens cultural understanding, and expands knowledge of worldwide commercial practices.
