Introduction
Has all the talk about "globalization" made you wonder what other cultures are like? Do you want to take on projects that expand your mind and require you to think in different ways? Would you like to experience a culture that is very different from the culture of Canada? Would you like a career that would help you do all these things? If you answered "yes" to these questions, you should consider the International Business major. In this major, you will learn the about management in different cultures and the career opportunities that are available as the world becomes a truly global marketplace.
Program Requirements
The Major consists of: FIN 3450 , INTB 2200 , HRIR 4520 , and MKT 3300 .
One of the above four courses may be used in the core program; therefore the major will be comprised of the remaining three courses plus one course from the following list: MKT 3240 Special Topics in Marketing (Cross-Cultural Brand Management topic only), ACT 4250 Managing Insurance Operations in the International Business Environment or SCM 3230 Global Chain Management.
Students majoring in International Business are permitted to take 12 credit hours of a foreign language and/or courses with an international focus from an approved list and have these non-business courses count as Business Options. The list is available in the Undergraduate Program Office.
Typical Careers
Students who major in International Business choose from among a wide variety of management jobs in functional areas like finance, marketing, operations management, and human resource management. If you work in marketing, for example, you might be involved with the advertising and sale of a product or service that is made by a Canadian subsidiary in a foreign country. Whatever your specific area of interest, as your career in International Business proceeds, you will likely alternate overseas postings with work in Canada.
