Department of Business Management
Division of Social Sciences

The interconnectedness of enterprises in global commerce is increasing at a dizzying pace, making an understanding of the opportunities and challenges of competing globally increasingly important. The International Business minor offers students an opportunity to learn about and analyze the forces impacting decisions necessary for conducting business around the world, including the evaluation of international organizational models and an understanding of the impact of country differences, particularly the roles culture and ethics play. Students also gain insight into how trade affects profitability, the nature of international monetary systems, and how to configure international business functions. The minor can be combined with the Business Management major for intensive coverage of this field. It can also be taken as a stand-alone minor for students majoring in other disciplines.
