INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MINOR
Global business is fast becoming an important part of the U.S. economy. The world that college graduates are facing will essentially be a triad of powers (the United States and, perhaps, Canada and Latin America; Europe; and Japan and its Asian neighbors) and a "borderless" world. This suggests a need to be trained for employment that will have international implications. Whether the student takes a major in business, fashion design and merchandising, the hard sciences, English or education, some training in global outreach, cultural diversity, and "business cultures" will be necessary. The International Business minor will introduce students to cultural issues of a broad, global nature.

1. An officially declared major
