International Business

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

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.

Why study international business at CBU?

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.
