International Business Degrees Online

As the world shrinks, the demand for decision-makers versed in the culture and language of other countries grows. To fill this need, the Penn State Board of Trustees in 2001 approved creation of an International Business degree program at Penn State Erie.

International Business is a dual-degree program. The International Business curriculum emphasizes the knowledge and the skills required to accomplish organizational objectives while coordinating human, material, information, and financial resources across national boundaries. A second School of Business major adds depth of business knowledge (you can choose Accounting, Business Economics, Economics, Finance, Management, Management Information Systems, or Marketing). With careful planning, the program can be completed in four years.

A required study abroad component is distinct to the International Business major. Penn State offers 130 study programs in forty-two countries-from Aberystwyth, Wales to Wellington, New Zealand-through a variety of organizations. Programs vary in length from spring break to a full year abroad. An international programs adviser is available to help students make the selection that best meets their educational needs.

This past summer, a study abroad opportunity to China was available. Dr. Kenneth Louie was the Instructor. The Study Abroad flyer tells you about what students learned and estimated costs. The Study Abroad brochure gives you a course overview, deadlines, and how this course will increase your understanding of China and its impact on the world and its economy.

The International Business major deals with aspects of competitive advantage across national boundaries, attempting to understand how firms successfully compete in the global marketplace. Students learn to analyze international structures, systems, and processes in order to be able to conduct effective and efficient international business activities.

Events such as the ‘Twin Towers’ and the Bali bombing, famine and conflicts in many parts of the world, the consequential displacement of large numbers of people from their homes and the threat to world peace and stability has resulted in a growing international interest in issues of global safety and security. Even more recently, natural disasters such as the Tsunami in Asia, have focussed attention on issues of global safety and security that relate to the human and social consequences of such disasters transcending national boundaries.

This course aims to provide students with the opportunity to study contemporary issues surrounding global safety and security and to combine these studies with the wider study of ‘Disaster Management’ to provide a unique and intellectually challenging course of study. Graduates will study and gain an understanding of relevant political, cultural, social and human issues but at the same time will be equipped with the skills needed to practice both nationally and internationally in disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and long-term social, psychological and physical reconstruction of disaster affected communities.

By combining subjects you will be able to keep your career options open - just think how useful it will be to show prospective employers that you have studied two subjects at Honours degree level. It provides a first class opportunity to develop your language proficiency and seeks to enable students to understand some of the fundamental changes that are taking place in the international political system. It is an excellent starting point for a range of career choices.

The degree offers the possibility of studying the history and politics of European nations and their political systems, and the wider context of world politics. You will study the recent history of the international political system, focusing on the Cold War and beyond. Topics covered include: the nature of foreign policy and war since 1945, the transformation of the international political system since the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the question of whether the events of September 11th 2001 have changed the world forever is considered in terms of the changing nature of terrorism. Changes in the world economic order since the Second World War are also discussed. In particular, the degree considers those issues that transcend national boundaries - the global environment, international debt and world poverty - and assesses whether international institutions and forces are of greater significance than individual nation-states.

This is a three-year course with the option of studying a further foreign language if you so wish.
