International Business
Our international business option is designed to give you an increased awareness of the economic, political, geographic and sociocultural factors that impact doing business across national boundaries.
Overview
When you think about where you want to be in life, are you thinking about the whole world? Then international business knowledge is a must for you. Our International Business option is designed to give you an increased awareness of the economic, political, geographic and sociocultural factors that impact doing business across national boundaries.
This area of study prepares you for exciting international careers at multinational firms and can lead to exciting and rewarding opportunities abroad. It begins with this degree requirement: students must study overseas for one term via the Arthur Stonehill International Exchange Program as part of their coursework.
Because those leaders who eventually hold high-level positions in international businesses often start their careers in entry-level business positions, all international business students also complete the requirements for a primary discipline within business.
For students looking to complete an option within one term overseas, as well as gain experiences living, learning, and building relationships overseas that are sought out and valued by employers at home and abroad, pursing the International Business option is an excellent choice.
