STUDYING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AT EDINBORO UNIVERSITY
The specialized international business courses provide the knowledge necessary for success in the global marketplace. Yet the fundamental principles, the anchor functions, of business are universal. Thus, students studying international business also take all the foundation courses in accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing, information resources management, business law, business ethics, quantitative analysis, and business decision making.
Independent Study can be used to study regions and/or topics of interest, or to explore specific international business strategies.Success in international business also requires language fluency and an understanding of world cultures, political systems and history. Students should use General Education and Free Elective credits to learn a second (or third) language and develop an international perspective. Scores of courses from departments throughout the university are available to help students accomplish this. Areas of study should include:

Students should exploit international travel opportunities such as the Study Abroad Program to experience other cultures and economies first-hand.
