Minor in International Business

The minor in International Business provides non-business majors with an overview of international business concepts and issues.

Developing a global perspective is the goal of this Minor and includes the study of management, economics, and international business. This background will be useful for students’ intent on working in organizations that are diverse, inclusive, and built on teamwork. This minor will strengthen the background of those pursuing a degree in Global Media, Global Studies, Math, Modern Language, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, etc.

Arcadia made the process of adding an International Business minor to my degree easy! I worked with Professor Kurthakoti to design a course schedule that would best accomplish the work of International Business, it was a total of 5 classes equally 20 credits. Through my time at Arcadia, I had amazing professors like Professor Nolan, Professor Halpin and Professor Kurthakoti. They each went above and beyond to explain material and help me thrive even if I was not majoring in the subject. International Business as a minor helped me understand my International Studies major to a deeper degree and put my skills into application.
