BBA International Business

International business is the study of business transactions that cross national boundaries. At Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia our program includes the study of international trade in tangible and intangible goods and commodities; the study of banking, insurance, marketing, and other international service transactions. The study of International Business also includes the analysis of direct and portfolio investments made outside the domestic market. Ancillary topics such as economic growth and development and ethics in international business are also generally covered.

All students need to develop a global mind-set to be successful in business. The growth of international business has created a demand for people who have knowledge of global markets.
