International Business

As an international business major, you will study the global business environment with an emphasis on:

• Multinational organizations
• Economic and political systems
• Socio-cultural structures
• Diversities that have operational significance for international business

The International Studies Program, a collaborative effort of the Dolan School of Business and the College of Arts and Sciences, offers majors in International Business the flexibility to integrate courses in both schools into your plan of study. The program draws from a group of interdisciplinary faculty, practitioners, and students from many parts of the world with a commitment to thinking critically about global challenges, promoting social justice, and service. You will have access to specialized faculty and staff who offer ongoing advisement, and you will be encouraged to broaden the scope of your study by incorporating experiential learning opportunities such as study abroad, internships with international institutions and businesses, and advanced language training. You'll also have access to special resources for the International Business major.

The International Business major provides you with the international perspective to:

• Become sensitive to the global interdependence in which you will be living and working
• Inform you of the similarities and differences between the socio-political and economic environments of different countries
• Furnish you with a broad understanding of the social, cultural, political, and economic forces shaping the international environment
