Major in International Business The B.S.B.A. in International Business prepares students to function in entry- and mid-level positions in firms actively engaged in trading across international borders, or to begin a career in the international civil service or international legal profession. This program, conducted in cooperation with the Modern Foreign Languages Department, seeks to prepare the graduate culturally and socially, as well as professionally, for this rapidly expanding field of employment. In order to accomplish this goal, students in the international business major become proficient in the use of French, Chinese, or Spanish through an extensive exposure to the foreign language. Additionally, students are exposed to a broad range of issues which emphasize cultural differences as well as similarities. Majors will be prepared for employment in positions requiring significant foreign travel, which is encouraged during the student’s career, as well. The School of Business and Modern Foreign Languages Department faculty support student involvement in crosscultural experiences. Students are encouraged to study in foreign cultural environments through numerous student exchange programs, summer travel abroad programs, and the Junior Year Abroad program. Selected students are encouraged to apply for foreign study grants through supporting organizations, adding significant study experience as well as breadth of perspective to their collegiate experience. Student Learning Outcomes Upon completing the International Business Program at High Point University, students will: 1. be effective communicators (oral and written). 2. be aware of theoretical frameworks that apply to ethical dilemmas seen in the business environment. 3. be able to demonstrate a fundamental understanding of the core knowledge relevant to the business environment.
