Program Overview
The globalization of commercial operations has generated demand for managers that are competent in international business practice and strategies. Today’s firms view the entire globe as a potential market, increasing the demand for international business professionals to provide superior products and services worldwide. While the global business environment shares many common principles with domestic business practice, it is also distinct in a number of ways, and it is important to develop graduates who are equipped to compete and do business internationally. The BBA in International Business will prepare you for managerial careers in the increasingly competitive and interdependent international business markets. It emphasizes the essential knowledge, skills and management techniques required to conduct international business operations in an ever-changing global marketplace.
