The curriculum for the International Business (IB) major educates students with a broad exposure to international commercial enterprises. IB majors learn about international trade; financial, banking and monetary concepts and issues; import, export and international and regulatory practices; international accounting and taxation; global marketing; and management of global entities and human resources, including an emphasis on understanding foreign business cultures and intercultural communication challenges. IB students must also obtain a primary major in business. IB students are therefore well-rounded business professionals who compete effectively for employment based on both subject matter expertise and the ability to work effectively across global business cultures.
