Career Opportunities in International Business Administration International business studies should be undertaken in conjunction with a strong functional program. While international business specialists are increasingly attractive to many firms, most entry-level positions are in the functional business areas. International business specialists have traditionally been employed by larger, multinational firms, but there are growing opportunities in smaller firms moving into international markets, in banks and financial institutions, and in companies providing assistance to importers and exporters. Positions frequently include the opportunity to work on assignment overseas. Many students graduating from international business programs also continue their training in graduate programs in law and business.
International law is a growing field.
For those students willing to complete PhD programs, there are colleges and universities in need of professors to teach the various international business courses. High School Preparation Students interested in business administration as a degree should have a good high school background in mathematics and written and oral communication. Experience with computers is helpful. A college preparatory high school course curriculum is required for unconditional admission. Selected students with exceptional ACT scores and high school performance can be directly admitted to the College of Business in a pre-major status.
