International Business Minor

The minor in international business is available on campus and online to allow graduates in any major to expand their work opportunities to include the numerous positions advertised by corporations that outsourced or off-shored part of their operations. Positions in international business are projected to grow and the minor will enhance the career prospects of our graduates. Students will be introduced to international business cultures and etiquette, international business law, international financial management, international marketing, international business management, and logistics and supply chain management.
