The ability to adapt and thrive in diverse business environments is more crucial than ever before in today's increasingly interdependent global economy. Studying international business provides students an opportunity to learn and think about the world of business on a global scale.
Why an international business minor works well with other majors
At MSSU, students gain the knowledge and skills required for international business careers. International business students develop an understanding of the political, regulatory, and cultural environments that shape international business and trade. Our program provides an interdisciplinary approach where students learn marketing, management, and supply chain skills needed to succeed in managing multinational corporations or small-to-medium sized businesses that expand into international markets.
International business students are required to complete a faculty-led, short-term study abroad course to a foreign destination. Study abroad experiences provide students an opportunity to visit and interact with the business community in the target country. Class meetings prior to the trip and a term project are required. Alternative options to short-term study abroad travel are available for international students.
