Program Overview

As the global economy continues to expand, demand is increasing for business professionals with expertise in international business. As an international business major at Endicott, you will develop foundational managerial competencies as well as the specialized skills, knowledge, and perspectives required to become an effective decision-maker in the global marketplace.

We designed programs to complement our international business curriculum, including foreign language courses that use the latest communicative methodologies, and overseas study and internship opportunities that will teach you to approach problem-solving through a global lens.

You will be required to complete two years of college-level foreign language study or to demonstrate an equivalent proficiency in a language other than English. You are also strongly encouraged to spend a minimum of one semester in a country other than your home, either through a study abroad or internship experience.
