The United States is one of the top countries for international trade, exporting and
importing trillions of dollars of merchandise and services each year. As domestic
companies grapple with how to compete in a global arena, demand for professionals
who know how to source and sell globally will only increase. CBU’s international business
major equips students who plan to work abroad or stay in the U.S. to work effectively
with others from different cultures.
Learn through experience The program challenges students to approach business issues from different perspectives
and to respect and interact with other cultures and ideas. Students apply theories,
so that they not only know how to start a new business venture or understand business
customs in another country, but experience it, too. Students can also go off campus
and study in our two-week summer program at Oxford University in England.
Take relevant courses The program exposes students to major international business topics, including international
trade, cultures, economics, marketing, and communication issues of multinational corporations.
CBU has partnered with employers to develop internships for students to gain valuable
international business experience. The faculty has also worked with employers to develop
a curriculum that meets employer needs and expectations to better prepare students
to fill current jobs.

Adele Harrison
Professor of Finance
Finance is intriguing because it is more future-oriented, it helps individuals and
businesses reach dreams. However, finances easily trip people up. Desire to work in
finance was cemented with my first job at a local credit union. My next career steps
were commercial banking followed by teaching and consulting.
