Minor in International Business
The Minor in International Business is designed to complement any major. It enhances the students' knowledge of the international environment within which U.S. and multinational businesses operate. The minor combines business knowledge, language competency and international experience.
Why Choose International Business?
Demand is increasing in this country for people with the knowledge of the international environment within which the U.S. and foreign businesses operate.
Many domestically educated managers have been at a distinct disadvantage in the international arena owing to their lack of language proficiency, international sensitivity, and multinational knowledge. These skills are necessary for effective interaction with foreign businesses and government officials.
The minor in international business is designed to help remove these obstacles by creating a program of studies that allows students to apply the knowledge and skills of a major to an international setting.
The minor in international business may be used to strengthen any major - not just those majors in the College of Business Administration - so long as the student has met all prerequisites for courses in the program.
