Bachelor of Science in International Business

The study of international business teaches you how to conduct business abroad, whether running or working for a multinational corporation. Through our Christ-centered curriculum, you will acquire the necessary core skills — accounting, finance, management, leadership, ethics, etc. — upon which you will build your understanding of how to apply these principles in a different culture. Gain international experience through a two-month overseas internship. To gain this perspective, you will complete a two-month international internship, gaining experience and an appreciation for the political, social and economic life in another country. You’ll also have the option of completing your internship here in the states and gaining overseas experience through another route, perhaps through a CCCU study aboard program or by simply living and traveling abroad for at least two months. The relationships and experience you gain through your international travel can lay the groundwork for your career abroad or in cross-cultural ministries.
