A major in international business develops a student's ability to meet the challenges of the global business environment. The major prepares students to work for U.S. and international companies that do business everywhere by training them to identify and develop solutions to problems unique to doing business internationally. Students receive a strong foundation in international aspects of business by taking upper-level courses in international management, marketing, finance, accounting, and economics. Unique requirements of the major are that students take courses to improve their cultural competencies, study a foreign language, and participate in study abroad.
Students pursuing an international business major must complete a second Seidman major in a functional discipline (e.g., finance, marketing, accounting, management, or economics), a minor in a foreign language or demonstrated proficiency in a foreign language, and must participate in a GVSU-approved study abroad experience in addition to completing the B.B.A. core. For students with F1 visas, certain program requirement substitutions may be made. Students should contact the Seidman Undergraduate Student Services Office early in their program for a suggested pattern of coursework.
