The international business program responds to the increasing interactions of American companies with worldwide marketing, purchasing, financial dealings and other business activities. Larger U.S. companies have historically had a presence or strategic relationship in other countries, and this is becoming increasingly true of small and medium-sized companies. Also, many types of intermediaries have emerged to find markets and/or suppliers around the world for U.S. companies of all sizes and in almost every industry.

Virtually every business organization should at least explore the possibilities of developing relationships with companies in other countries, either directly or through intermediaries. The global economy is too interdependent and too competitive for any domestic business to ignore the international marketing, sourcing and investing possibilities.

The international business program offers three required courses that help students understand the different political and economic environments that affect the ways in which business is conducted in other countries. Building on these foundation courses are more specialized courses focusing on marketing, sourcing and investment pportunities in overseas business. Finally, there are practically-oriented “Doing Business in . . .” courses that apply what has been learned in core and elective courses to selected nations or world regions in the design of strategies for the achievement of business objectives.

For the highly focused individual, independent studies may be designed and internships may be made available.
