Academic advising is provided through the coordinated efforts of the Academic Advising and Career Exploration Center and faculty advisors. Contact your advisor when you have academic related questions or issues. Advisors can be reached during office hours, by e-mail, phone, regular mail or you can check with the department office to see when your advisor is available. Faculty advisors also teach classes and work on academic research, so advisement hours may be limited.

Bachelors Degrees Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business and Marketing Why study International Business and Economics? Corporations, government agencies and non-profit organizations are looking for employees who understand the international world and possess cultural sensitivity. Career opportunities are increasing for people with the knowledge of the international environment within which both domestic and foreign businesses operate. As firms worldwide become more dependent upon international trade - many multinationals do business in more than 100 countries - the need for graduates with business and economic skills continues to increase. A major in International Business and Economics offers a broad base of traditional business courses that provide you the unique perspective on doing business globally. Unlike other business degrees, this program draws more heavily from other areas of study, such as: political science, sociology, geography, or foreign language.
