International Business Program

USA

What will I learn?

The International Business Program (IBP) is designed to meet the needs of business and industry in the rapidly evolving global marketplace and to prepare students for international careers. IBP students study language and culture each semester along with their business curriculum, and upon completion of this five-year-program, earn two simultaneous degrees:

A B.S. in Business Administration with a major in Accounting, Finance, General Business, Entrepreneurial Management, Marketing, Supply Chain Management, Textile Marketing, or Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design;

A B.A. in one of five languages: Chinese, French, German, Italian, or Spanish.

This unique combination provides a thorough grounding in business, an understanding of other cultures, and fluency in another language. The program also offers an invaluable opportunity to study and intern abroad, allowing for concrete work experience in the global marketplace.

The dynamic skill set gained from this program will make you highly competitive for both the global workplace and for graduate school, providing you many options upon graduation.
