INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS - CO-MAJOR AND MINOR

As a result of the extraordinary changes brought on by globalization, companies need new kinds of managers鈥攊ndividuals who not only have strong business skills, but who are comfortable managing and communicating across cultures. In the International Business co-major, you will learn the potential and risks of new markets and develop the ability to think globally while acting locally. When you choose an International Business (IB) co-major at VSB, you will take it in conjunction with a primary major. A minor in IB will supplement a business degree by providing cross-cultural skills valued by global companies.


You must complete the core curriculum and the business curriculum, along with meeting the requirements for your primary major plus the one required IB course and three IB elective courses from at least two different disciplines. Other requirements include:

  • One international course in your major discipline, if available. If you have more than one major, you are required to take an international course in each major. The course(s) will also satisfy a major elective requirement.
  • One international-related history or international-related social science course selected from geography and the environment, history, psychology, political science, or sociology. 
  • An approved international study experience.
