2021-2022 Undergraduate & Graduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
International Business, B.S.
|
|
Advisement for the major is available from the Management and Marketing Department.
As a growing number of large and small U.S. firms transact a portion of their business through international channels, international business graduates are becoming increasingly involved with international aspects of business.
This major allows students to gain the knowledge and skills required for international business careers, while developing their understanding of the mechanisms and institutions of international business. Since the Perdue School’s curriculum allows multiple majors, concentrations and tracks, students may combine such areas as accounting, finance, marketing, management and information systems with international business, giving themselves an international business education.
