Building up a business from scratch needs great amount of patience apart from a good financial back up. Though every business has its own specific cash requirements throughout the various stages of development, most businesses go through almost similar set up costs. The BBA in International Business prepares undergraduates for demanding jobs in the fields of e.g. marketing, sales, export-import operations, financial management, product management, and customer relations. Key themes of global citizenship and cross-cultural communication run throughout the course, preparing you for work in diverse environments whilst developing your awareness of the ways people do business across the world and the challenges and issues they face.
Our undergraduate business administration majors in accounting, business, and international business as well as nonprofit management minors all take a required course called the Service Leadership Project, designed to blend academic study with community service.
