International Management, Bachelor of Science

Pursuing a degree in international management offers students the opportunity to participate in international internships; global destination courses with embedded travel to countries in Europe, Asia or Latin America; or, in programs such as GLOBE (Global Loan Opportunities for Budding Entrepreneurs), where you act as a manager of a microfinance social business.  These intensive experiences uniquely position you to secure jobs as managers of international divisions of major corporations, as experts in import/export activities, as foreign trade professionals, as entrepreneurs seeking to carve out a new business with international operations, or as social entrepreneurs with a vision to create systemic change that responds to issues of social injustice, poverty and environmental degradation.

Faculty teaching international management courses are industry-trained as well as distinguished scholars in their field. They bring a wealth of experience to the classroom, and create an exciting and dynamic learning environment, using innovative teaching techniques. Diversity of our student body further enhances the opportunities you have to learn about various cultures and perspectives from all over the world.
