BS Business - International

Students in Saint Louis University's international business bachelor's degree program, offered through the Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business, earn global business understanding and experience through courses, student activities, special events and internships.Students are strongly encouraged to study abroad and gain firsthand experience through immersion. Options range from a large selection of full-semester destinations to shorter global immersion experiences of one to two weeks.Before engaging an overseas business associate, students must first understand how their language, communication style, social infrastructure, work attitudes, economy, politics, pace of life, geography and government policies impact their business practice. Students will also learn about exporting, importing, foreign direct investment, foreign licensing, international services and global transactions of products or services. Since international influences will impact careers, it is critical that students understand business relationships with partners worldwide — whether during business conducted inside the U.S. or overseas. The Chaifetz School prepares students to meet this challenge.The Department of International Business also offers a minor for students in other business and non-business majors to add to their chosen major.
