Bachelor of Science in International Business (BS)

The need for graduates who understand and have experience in global business is increasing. Individuals who possess skills to help streamline global pursuits of companies that trade, manufacture, or use contract manufacturing globally are in greater demand than ever. Many American companies are multinational, and it is essential for managers to understand the different political, cultural, financial, marketing and management systems that drive international business activities in the U.S. and abroad.

These companies, including companies in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, are looking to hire individuals who have knowledge of global business and who can support the company’s international production and marketing needs. The international business major at the University of Minnesota Crookston will enable you to develop the kind of global mindset necessary for opportunities in this field.
