This degree program examines differences in business practices, language, communication, social interaction, work attitudes, relationships, economics, politics, lifestyle and social structures. Knowledge of other cultures facilitates successful transactions, not only with other countries, but among partners or entities that consist of multicultural teams, something that is more and more prevalent in today’s globalized society. Students in this program will also learn about exporting, importing, foreign direct investment, foreign licensing and international services. The International Business academic curriculum is completely integrated with that of the St. Louis Campus in St. Louis, Missouri. In fact, International Business students are encouraged to take advantage of the seamless relationship between the degree programs at both campuses by completing a semester abroad in either Madrid or St. Louis. Students who wish to pursue this business program have two options:

1. Complete the entire undergraduate program in Spain with the John Cook School of Business (JCSB) in Missouri as the degree-granting entity.
2. Enroll in the International Business degree program at the Madrid Campus and transfer freely between the St. Louis and Madrid campuses over the course of the undergraduate degree program.

Study Abroad
Another way that International Business students enhance their cultural awareness and knowledge of the international world is through study abroad. Both the Madrid and St. Louis Campuses offer wonderful opportunities for students to spend a semester or a year at institutions around the world!
