BBA with a Major in International Business

Bachelor of Business Administration with a Major in International Business

Business has moved from the local, regional and national level to a global economy that encompasses the developed and the developing nations. Multinational corporations, along with incentives from governments, are expanding their international operations to provide technical dissemination with marketing and manufacturing opportunities. There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy as every major corporation seeks to have a worldwide presence. Business executives today believe it is important their managers have a global perspective.

The objective of the major in International Business is to provide the student with an opportunity to develop and concentrate their knowledge and management skills toward a multi-national environment that knows no geographic, cultural or regional boundaries.

The curriculum provides the student with the necessary business foundation to enter the corporate environment with a background in management, markets, customs, and ethics in other countries.

Courses taught in the School of Management and Business contain a content-relevant ethics component.
