With today’s business environment growing more complex and global, an understanding of business and management theory with an international perspective is a necessity. This business administration curriculum will prepare students to transfer to a four-year program in business and management with eventual entry into all areas of business, from manufacturing through retailing and including accounting, marketing, finance, banking, transportation, and international business. Students in this two-year international business program will be introduced to several areas of business and management theory and practice coupled with a strong liberal arts base in international culture, history, and language.
(General education core credits in excess of 36 will transfer as general electives or courses related to the major. Each student’s total of general education and required courses must equal at least 60 semester hours of credit.)
