The international business major gives students the opportunity to examine the complex challenges that face managers when organizations and products cross national borders. In today’s global economy, many products, services and supply chains cross international borders. Students will examine the complex challenges managers face when organizations source international resources to serve global markets. They will develop the managerial competencies and specialized skill of an effective decision maker in the global marketplace.
Endicott is committed to providing students in the international business major with the foreign language and intercultural competencies necessary to succeed in today’s interdependent global business community. Foreign language courses that use the latest communicative methodologies and foreign study and internship opportunities are designed to complement the international business curriculum. Students in international business are required to pursue two years of college-level foreign language study or to demonstrate an equivalent proficiency in a language other than English. They likewise are strongly encouraged to spend a minimum of one semester in a country other than their home, either in a study abroad or internship experience.
