Almost all successful businesses go global. The financial, marketing and managerial skills required to be successful in global markets are the focus of this concentration. Students learn techniques that will enable them to operate in an international context- whether as consultants, managers or financial advisors. Issues in international business that are typically not addressed in other concentrations include currency hedging, international valuation of companies, international market entry and how to operate in countries with significant macroeconomic instability, as well as vastly different political and financial institutions.

The International Business concentration is typically taken along with another concentration. The core plus five courses are required: B6501 and four courses/seminars. One of the courses for this concentration may be taken from other divisions or schools in the University in such related fields as economics, international relations, law, political science, sociology and regional studies- provided it has significant international content. For most courses taken outside the Business School, approval from the program coordinator is required.
