International Business for Non-Business Majors - Minor

The International Business minor introduces students to cultural issues of a broad, global nature. Students are encouraged to participate in study-abroad programs to complement their studies. Global business is fast becoming an important part of the U.S. economy. The world that college graduates are facing will essentially be a borderless world. This suggests a need to be trained for employment that will have international implications. Whether students take a major in business, fashion design and merchandising, the hard sciences, English or education, some training in global outreach, cultural diversity and “business cultures” will be necessary.

The Human Resource Management minor focuses on the competitive advantage derived from the more effective use of human resource management policies, practices and procedures.

The Human Resource Management minor covers a range of topic areas taught from both theoretical and applied perspectives.
