SU’s International Business Program is the only interdisciplinary major within SU’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business allowing students to tailor their courses to specialize in their unique area of interest. Since the curriculum allows multiple majors, concentrations and tracks, students may combine such areas as accounting, economics, finance, information systems, business administration, marketing and management and with an international business degree.
What sets SU apart from other international business degree programs across the country is its focus on experiential learning. Our program consists of three components to give students real-world experience in their field, instead of just lecture time in the classroom:
- Internships. All international business students are required to complete an internship with an organization before graduation. This Applied Business Learning Experience (ABLE) internship helps students prepare for their careers by gaining hands-on experience.
- Foreign language learning. Students have the option to take courses counting toward their degree in one of the major business languages: Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi or Korean. Alternatively, students may also take courses focused on geography and political science—crucial to prepare students to engage with the global business climate.
- Study abroad opportunities. SU offers a number of study abroad and foreign exchange programs, providing invaluable experiences that both impress future employers and leave a lasting impact on students. Currently, SU has three exchange programs allowing students to study abroad for a semester, an academic year or more: Hong Kong Baptist University (Hong Kong), Grenoble Ecole of Management (France) and ULACIT (Costa Rica). For students wishing to pursue this option for their business degree, many study abroad scholarships are available.
