Using knowledge from several domains, such as economics, law, management and marketing,
the International Business program builds competency in the culture, diversity and
language of global business.
Why international business at OSU?
International Business students develop cross-cultural competence for conducting international
business by taking various elective courses to hone their multicultural understanding,
taking courses in a foreign language, or participating in the numerous study-abroad
courses offered by the Center for Advanced Global Leadership (CAGLE).
International Business degree program graduates compete for an ever-increasing number
of jobs that allow them to work in the United States or abroad such as:
U.S. multinationals with overseas operations
Foreign companies operating in the United States
U.S.-based small businesses looking to expand abroad
International Organizations (e.g., United Nations, NATO)
Non-profit groups with an international focus (e.g., Doctors without Borders, Oxfam)
Through the Eastin Center, OSU supports students’ professional growth from awareness
to knowledge acquisition, practice and ultimately successful implementation.
Study abroad
The CAGLE Center is the main hub of study abroad opportunities in Spears Business. Through courses
that can count toward degree requirements, students can spend 1-3 weeks immersing
themselves in a foreign country and meeting professionals from different business
industries. The CAGLE Center offers approximately 20+ trips yearly for students to
explore the world.
