SCHOOL OF BUSINESS STUDIES
PROGRAMS OFFERED
MBA (International Business)
A Master of Business Administration
with a concentration in International Business
will advance your career in business with an education
on how the global marketplace works. If you have
a bachelor’s degree in a business-related
major and have some business experience, this
degree would help you get ahead in a company that
has worldwide interests. An MBA in International
or Global business can give you the skills and
knowledge necessary to build relations with foreign
suppliers on behalf of a company, or manage an
overseas office in a domestic company looking
to expand its markets. With enough experience,
you could even become an advisor to the federal
government.
International and global businesses are becoming
more and more common as the world shrinks through
the use of the Internet, and as more countries
become partners in the global supply chain. Free
market trade practices also require that much
more cooperation between nations and companies
is necessary in order to keep goods and services
moving around the globe. This situation necessitates
that executives in most companies that want to
do business anywhere have to understand how different
economies work and how to conduct business with
other nations. This involves not only be aware
of international trading laws, but also the customs
and cultures of foreign nations in order to trade
productively.
Earning an MBA in International Business will
provide you with the opportunity to learn the
skills needed to pursue a career in management
for a global organization. This will include learning
how to build strong global brands, what business
and environmental issues are important to other
countries, how entrepreneurial design is important
for product affordability, how global operations
differ from country to country, and how to achieve
growth and stability in a global economy.
In an MBA International Business degree program,
you will first take traditional MBA classes and
