The International Business major was designed
to prepare graduates in both business fundamentals and knowledge of the
historical, cultural and institutional changes that shape the world economy.
Students are encouraged to enroll in one of Monmouth College’s foreign exchange
programs. Participants in these programs learn about that nation’s business
environment, culture, and language while in that particular country of interest.
Career opportunities for International Business majors exist in many types of
organizations since even small firms sell internationally via the World Wide
Web. Employers of international business graduates include financial
institutions, manufacturers, management and marketing consulting, government,
and technology companies.
Graduates joining small and mid-sized firms
will find many complex and challenging international business opportunities in
the United States and abroad.
