Global Business and Economics (B.S.)

The Global Business and Economics degree builds on both the University's liberal arts core curriculum and the Business and Economics core to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Students are prepared to navigate the complexities of global commerce by gaining a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between business practices and the global economy. Through coursework examining areas such as managing international economic relations, investigating moral and cultural questions raised by globalization, comparing economic and political systems, discussing global warming, inequality and poverty, and emerging markets, engaging in cultural and global communications, and exploring international financial decision making, students are prepared for a wide range of diverse opportunities in the international sector. The major emphasizes experiential learning opportunities such as study abroad programs, internships, and collaborative projects with multinational corporations, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world business challenges. Additionally, students gain insight into the legal, political, and cultural factors shaping international business environments, preparing them for diverse career paths in multinational corporations, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and international trade associations where they can contribute to the development and implementation of global business strategies. Students completing the major are required to study abroad or take an additional course in modern languages or complete a Professional Internship in Business.
 

Global Business and Economics majors complete a minimum of 120 credits to earn a bachelor’s degree, including 41–44 credits of core courses and 60 credits of major courses as listed below.
