International Business Minor
Students minoring in International Business take courses in global business, geography, economics, anthropology, and international relations.
Students choose one elective related to international business, which may also count towards their major. Popular electives include classes on international finance, cross-cultural management, global marketing, international trade, international finance and economic policy and many more.
Several of the Magis Core Signature elements, including the Magis Interdisciplinary requirement (MSID), Writing Across the Curriculum (MWAC), and Writing Within the Discipline (MWID), are satisfied by the foundational coursework in International Business. Many of electives count towards other Magis Core requirements, ensuring that International Business is an excellent complement to any major or minor in the Dolan School.
