International Business Concentration
A concentration in International Business (IB) provides students with the knowledge, skills and experience necessary for successful careers in the global business environment. BSBA students must combine the International Business Concentration with another BSBA Concentration. With this preparation, graduates will be prepared for employment in many manufacturing, service, or knowledge-based industries with international markets, international suppliers, international sources of finance, or an internationally diverse workforce.
The completion of specified courses in international business may be applied toward the course requirements in other concentration areas.
