Description of International Business Major
This major is intended to provide students with the competencies desirable for positions in global firms and challenging positions in private, governmental and nonprofit organizations.
With a degree in International Business, the career opportunities include foreign banking and international investing; import/export trade; international for-profit and not-for-profit organizations; world missions and services with multi-national corporations.
Those seeking employment in the field of international business should have specialized business skills, either in accounting, marketing, public relations, or management. In addition to this, foreign language skills, extensive travel experience, or experience living abroad will definitely help you get ahead.

Your major is not your career. Of course it can be.
A chemistry major can become a chemist, a history major can become an historian. But it is much more likely that your career choices will be enormously varied, and not tied to a specific major at all.
The 21st century workplace will challenge you to have many different jobs and most probably multiple careers. Your major will provide you a broad range of skills which will enable you to stay marketable in the fast-changing work world.
As you explore majors, be sure and take advantage of the following areas: college course bulletin, professors, upperclassmen, college alumni, family, friends and your Career Development Center Networking Program -- most importantly, don't panic! We're here to help.
