Program Overview
West Chester University is preparing graduates to succeed in an ever growing global economy through preparation for international careers. The B.S. in International Business is rooted in the College of Business and Public Management, but draws from a wide range of disciplines across the university. The program's flexible design enables students to gain the knowledge, skills and experience needed to understand and make international business decisions in a cross- and multi-cultural context. The program encourages and facilitates the completion of an international education experience (i.e. "study abroad"), a complementary minor, and/or a foreign language proficiency.
