International Business

Careers in International Business are not necessarily located oversees or even in major cities. Many positions are in US-based offices or divisions of international firms. Employers feel a program that provides a sound foundation in language, geo-political studies and business subjects prepares a graduate to deal more effectively when a firm oversees contracts and to appreciate and to understand the overall operations of an international company regardless of where the employee is assigned.
