The international business major requires a study abroad experience, which will open up the world for you and your studies. Many students choose to visit the Eckerd College London Study Centre, and courses such as International Business and Management or Economic and Social Problems in Britain will give a new, global context to your learning. Other opportunities exist around the globe to fit your particular interests.
