Blending the College’s liberal arts and sciences foundation with a strong internationalized business curriculum, the major presents many challenging and exciting options while providing an essential perspective of diversity. The requirement of an interdisciplinary or language minor gives global insight to the development of a unique international business education.
This interdisciplinary minor and program will expose students to the cultures, history, politics, economy, and languages of our Latin American and Caribbean neighbors.
