The Bachelor of Science in International Business Program as offered by Herzing University is designed specifically for individuals seeking knowledge in business practices as applied to the international setting. There are existing opportunities and obstacles in conducting a business in a global environment and graduates of this program are expected to effectively recognize them. International Business does not only concern itself with the business aspect but also the understanding of people and cultures in relation to business.

People who are considering careers in International Business should enjoy travel and thus expect to spend time away from home often or for extended periods. They should ideally be open-minded and are genuinely interested in learning about people, cultures and business. Expertise in the field requires knowledge in legal and political systems, economic policies, local and corporate culture, religious beliefs and their effects on business, trade agreements, accounting and labor standards, environmental controls, personal interaction and communication practice, and import and export regulations.

Total program length is one hundred twenty-four (124) credit hours. The curriculum includes study topics in Marketing, Banking, Finance, Economics, Exporting, Importing, and Cultural Protocol. The program is backed by the university’s accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. Tuition cost is $425.00 per credit hour for a total estimated cost of $52,700.00.

Graduates are expected to be able to demonstrate the ability to use business decisions, demonstrate knowledge of international business models, interpret changes in exchange rates, and understand international intellectual property laws. International students are required to provide additional documentation including high school transcripts, ACT/SAT scores, notarized statement of financial support and proof of English language proficiency.
