International Business

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in international business prepares students to operate locally yet think globally. We are ideally located in close proximity to Miami , a recognized international business center and home to people of many different cultures. There is no better place to see international business at work than in Miami . As boundaries diminish and economic treaties like NAFTA, the European Union, and MERCOSUR unite countries, a culturally-minded and internationally-educated workforce will become increasingly important. We equip our graduates with flexible and transferable business skills that can reach beyond boundaries. Exciting career opportunities await students who acquire a solid business education with a global perspective. Global education is the wave of the future. One out of every four new jobs created in the U.S. is tied to international business. More than 2 million new career opportunities have emerged as a result of international commerce in recent years - a trend that continues to prevail!

International Internships

International Business majors are required to do both a domestic and an international internship. An international internship enhances an International Business student's resume by providing the student with the experience of working with a company abroad.
