Why study international business?
Rapid globalization is occurring in the contemporary business environment and foreign opportunities are quickly growing. Do you have the business skills and hands-on experience to take advantage of these international career opportunities?
Our programs and academics will help students stand out in a crowded job market by training them on important and current international business topics, including:
- The complex and changing environmental forces that impact international business, and how companies can effectively adapt to these forces
- Tools for assessing the attractiveness of potential international markets, as well as the alternatives for entering and expanding within these markets
- Cross-cultural leadership and management practices that will promote success in international business
- Practical, hands-on experiential exercises and activities designed to internalize the capabilities and mindset required for success in international business
Your world. Your classroom.
