What Can I Do with a Major in…
International Business
The globalization of American business has prompted employers to hire candidates who have combined business knowledge with international finance, investment, trade, economics, or marketing skills. Employers of international business majors include consulting firms, importers, exporters, trading companies, educational institutions, transportation agencies, manufacturers, banks, freight companies, and service companies. Though most international careers require travel abroad, some are home-based. Strong technical backgrounds, quantitative abilities, language skills, and the ability to appreciate and adapt to different cultures will make you an attractive candidate in the growing field of international business. The following occupations represent some career opportunities available to international business majors. Some will require additional education.
