We recommend our students spend a semester overseas at one of our exchange partners (Sophomore year), take a local internship at a multinational company in the U.S. (Junior year) and participate in an international internship before graduation (Senior year).

The Global Business program offers versatile career preparation and a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. Our students are well equipped to be employed in the United States and internationally. By double majoring in Global Business and their functional major, students can strengthen their skillset and become sought after by multinational companies.

With the support of the program, our students create their own paths to success. After graduation they work at multinational companies, consulting firms and governmental and non-governmental institutions. Some of our graduates decide to pursue specialized master’s degree in the United States and internationally. Our graduates are also well-positioned for law school. If you are interested in getting in touch with one of our alumni representatives, please contact your program director.

However, it is not the number of classes you take but the ability to communicate that will make you successful.

Please check with the Foreign Languages department if business foreign language classes are available for your language of interest.
