An International Business Degree prepares students to excel in business across borders and in different economic environments, cultures, and under different laws.

The degree prepares the student for the global environment and builds a perspective that allows them to be culturally competent and able to successfully conduct business across cultural and geographic borders. Studying international business highlights the importance of seeing global markets, people, and economies in a personalized way that appreciates unique needs, unique wants, and opportunities. While some students build careers from their home country, the degree is especially attractive to those who want to go abroad and experience the lifestyles and consumer behaviors of different cultures. This experience gives them the knowledge to help companies in their home country to better serve the markets of other countries.

With so many companies becoming multi-national, global players, today’s demand for international business prowess is unprecedented.

To survive in the global environment companies must have personnel that are savvy in different cultures to achieve economies of scale, geographical diversification, and cultural relevance with their products and services. Knowledge of a foreign land (host country) is extremely valuable to a company with no experience outside their own borders. An adventurous career awaits the student who is interested in doing business globally.
