This program is designed to prepare students for a career in worldwide enterprises. Because a majority of positions in international business are counterparts to those in domestic business, they require the same fundamental competence in the functional fields of accounting, finance, management, and marketing. Therefore, international business majors are encouraged to also major in one of these functional areas.

In addition, international business requires special skills to adapt management methods to the needs of foreign environments. The concentration is intended to prepare the student for administrative and functional positions in international operations of multinational companies; for work in export-import; for careers in the national or international governmental agencies concerned with international trade or development; for the establishment of international businesses; and for careers in commercial and investment banking on an international scale.
