Mission Statement
The mission
of the International Business Studies Program Major is to contribute
to the strategic focus of the Bryan School by providing students the
best possible preparation for careers in a global economy. The program
recognizes the importance of language proficiency and the multicultural
nature of international business. Those needs are addressed by using
an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes both understanding the
business and economic institutions and practices in the global environment
and the nature of culture and the role it plays in international business
together with language proficiency.
The International
Business Studies major is an interdisciplinary program in the Bryan
School of Business and Economics administratively located in the Center
for Global Business Education and Research. An interdisciplinary committee
recommends curriculum and degree requirements from the Bryan School
of Business and Economics and the College of Arts and Sciences. The
program is distinctive in the Bryan School by requiring experiences
and competence in areas such as language study abroad that are not required
in other business programs. The need to understand other cultures, societies
and economies is met by requiring/recommending more in liberal education
and cognate areas than is required in the All University Liberal Education
Requirements (AULER) for other business programs.
