About the Major
Each day the United States forges stronger economic links to
the global economy, making a knowledge of international business
essential in meeting the challenges and competition of the global
marketplace. Internationalism is a core plank of the Ramapo College mission. The International Business Program prepares its students for vital roles in our interconnected world.
The International Business major at Ramapo College uniquely
combines specialized business skills with the liberal arts to
broaden students’ perspectives and intellectual abilities.
Focusing on the role of the U.S. in the international business
environment, the program helps students develop a heightened
awareness of the changing political and social aspects of countries
around the globe.
Majors in International Business acquire the ability to analyze
and understand global business operations and learn to appreciate
the economic, political, and social climates of the world’s
diverse regions. International corporate internships, study
abroad opportunities and foreign language skills are extremely
valuable aspects to the curriculum. Each student will receive
close personal advisement from a faculty member, and opportunity to access these various areas.
The International Business program offers a liberal arts core, that include introduction
to international studies, fundamentals of international business,
introduction to macroeconomics/microeconomics, language studies,
and courses in international business. Students select a concentration
in one of the following business areas: management, accounting,
finance, marketing, economics, or computer information systems.
This major leads to a Bachelor of Arts in International Business. While the
Program is based in the Anisfield School of Business,
its multidisciplinary approach draws on faculty and courses
from other schools of the college.
A minor in International Business is also available to students
in other majors.
International Business graduates will find job opportunities
in accounting, marketing, finance, and management with corporations
engaged in international business activities. They may also
find opportunities in government and education. Students will also be prepared for graduate work
in business or in liberal arts and language studies are also
possible choices.
The International Business faculty includes specialists in a
variety of business concentrations, as well as specialists in
the liberal arts. Because many of the Program's faculty have had broad experience
in the business world, both in the United States and abroad, they are able to
give students both theoretical and practical aspects of their
fields; nearly all of the faculty hold doctorate degrees.
