international business

<p>it sounds perfect for me. i love travelling and languages and i want to study business, but its not a common major and that scares me. It makes me feel like international business doesn't prepare me for domestic jobs. If i study international business, will i be at a disadvantage bc my major was so specific. I don't want to major in it, if its strictly about doing business in other countries bc realistically, i will probably want to find jobs within california also. </p>

<p>If i get a find a job abroad as easily if i simply have a degree in business administration or management instead or does the 'international' thing really help?</p>

<p>and does anybody know which schools have the top undergraduate international business program?</p>

<p>1) Wharton
2) NYU Stern</p>

<ul>
<li>I think both schools offer it as a co-major only. you can't survive on just an international business degree. plus, international business is not something that you can learn by sitting through classes.</li>
</ul>

<p>FIU in Miami has one of the nation's top international business programs.</p>

<p>UC BERKELEY! HAAS? undergraduate specialty in international business? i don't think so....</p>

<p>i know they offer business administration for undergrads and thats it. but i hope im wrong. does anyone know for sure if uc berkeley has international business?</p>

<p>I'm sure you can take upper division classes that concentrate on a particular subject. The business degree from Haas is still a Business Administration degree.</p>

<p>Huntsmann program at Penn. As good as it gets.</p>

<p>im starting to think that international business isn't for me. im beginning to lean towards finance bc international business seems too broad and doesn't seem like top jobs come from studying that. kinda pointless for my goals = /....but it seemed interesting before i had looked into it deeper.</p>

<p>international business is almost always a co-major. Even if it isnt your major, though, don't give up on the idea of learning languages and traveling. What's nice is that often you can do study abroad from schools that aren't your own, but that offer better or cheaper programs. I'd suggest studying finance, learning your languages on the side, and doing a semester abroad.</p>

<p>thanks alot uwben, i like the sound of that. i guess thats probably what i'll do. i wish i could transfer to a private on the east coast and study finance = ( because CSUs and UCs don't really offer finance by itself</p>

<p>i am an entering freshman to the univ of michigan - ann arbor.. and thinking of doing intl business at Ross school of business too.. but i am surely thinking of a dual major along with econ since i dont think that intl business alone will help me anyway.. but somehow.. i still havent given up on the idea of it.. i feel its much better than doing one of the business disciples i.e. finance, marketing etc..</p>
