International Business
 

The Campbell Program

     A Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree in International Business may be earned from Campbell University.  Our well-rounded curriculum provides a balance between the broad liberal arts and the business specialization sought by multinational corporations.  Additionally, our students are grounded in one or more foreign languages, an in valuable asset in international business.

The Campbell Approach
 
     The wide scope of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business gives you a selection of more than 80 courses.  Yet within this wide array, classes are small.  The typical class size for our majors is 20, a number that provides ample opportunity for discussion, simulations, case study presentations, and various types of projects. We also make extensive use of field trips, visiting speakers, and a lecture series.  Most of our courses are supported by user-friendly, computer-assisted tutorial packages.

     In addition, our internship program provides students with the hands-on experiences that enhance their value in the job marketplace.  We take special pride in placing interns in settings that match their interests.  As a result, our students have worked in countries scattered form Europe to Latin America and throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The Campbell Student

The International Business major tends to be a self-motivated, leadership-oriented individual who seeks the challenge and the extensive travel associated with global marketplaces.  About two-thirds of our graduates go on to entry-level management and marketing positions with a variety of companies.  The remainders pursue a graduate degree.

The quality of our program and our majors is reflected in our high job placement rates:  more than 80% of those who maintain a placement portfolio with the Office of Career Development and Placement have employment in their fields within six weeks of graduation.

The continuing growth of world trade as resulted in increasingly intertwined and interdependent national economies, resulting in exciting career opportunities for the international business major.

Options for International Business Majors Whose Native Language Is Not English

International Business majors whose native language is not English may choose between the following two options:

1.     Foreign Language Option (i.e., the Standard International Business Curriculum).  Fulfilling the foreign language requirement that all International Business majors whose native language is English must fulfill (Foreign Language 201, 202, 231, 232, and a 300-level literature course).

        Note: No student will be permitted to satisfy the foreign language requirement with courses in his native
        language.  (For example, native speakers of Spanish may not fulfill this requirement with Spanish
        language courses.)

2.     Business/Area Study Option.  Instead of fulfilling the foreign language sequence described above, both:

        A.     Taking an additional literature course, from among the following: English 201, 202, 203, 204, or
                 205.  [Note that all International Business majors, regardless of native language or option selected,
                 are required to take one of these four literature courses, as well as English 101 and 102.]

        B.     Taking any four courses from either or both of the following groups:

                 (1)     Any additional courses at the 300-level or above tat are offered within the School of
                           Business beyond those already required of International Business majors.

                 (2)     Geog 114                     World Regional Geography
                          Govt/Hist 322                Latin America:  An Area Study
                          Govt/Hist 341                Western Europe: An Area Study
                          Govt/Hist 342                Eastern Europe: An Area Study
