International Business Minor

Department of Management, College of Business and Economics

32 credits

Introduction

This minor is designed for students who want to add an international business dimension to a major in another functional area, either in the College of Business and Economics or in one of the other majors at Western Washington University. The student who completes this minor will have a) a course that gives a general introduction to the cultural, institutional and regulatory structures necessary to do international business; b) two courses that add more focused international business knowledge, and c) two elective courses with international content. Students from outside the College of Business and Economics will also acquire a basic knowledge of the ‘language’ of business and economics with three College of Business Administration courses.

Why Consider an International Business Minor?

An International Business Minor prepares a student to work with business relationships across borders in a variety of situations. Graduates should be able to help manage these business relationships that are central to the global environment that will define their careers.
