International Studies and Business
The international studies
and business major provides an integrated approach to
understanding the historical, economic, social, and
political interactions affecting peoples, cultures,
nations and trans-national business companies.
Students can further enhance their education through international experiential learning, including short-term and semester long opportunities for study and travel in Japan, China, Greece, London and Pars, Ireland, Honduras, and Guatemala. In addition, by attending an International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) accredited institution, students can take advantage of the strong partnerships IACBE maintains with business schools around the world. |

The interdisciplinary major incorporates three academic
components (international studies, foreign language
and business) and an internship, with the courses of
the liberal arts core curriculum:
- The international studies component
focuses on cultural issues that lead to a grasp of
historical, sociological, political, and economic
conditions in the global community.
- The foreign language component is
essential, because true access to a culture and a
people is through their language. Twelve credits beyond
the intermediate level are required.
- The business component will prepare
students in a professional career track that is enhanced
by the broad global perspective.
- An internship component is required,
either done abroad or with a foreign company in the
U.S.
