The major in international business is designed to prepare students for a management career in the international environment. It is grounded in an interdisciplinary approach in which the understanding of social structure, language, religion, and culture—in addition to a wide range of business skills—are seen as essential to the success of international business. International business majors are required to take part in cross-cultural experience in an international setting in order to develop skills in cross-cultural understanding, living and communication.
