BBA in International Business

Why pursue an international business bachelor's degree at North Central College School of Business and Entrepreneurship?

Our business degree program will teach you critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as equip you with real-life experience. An international business major will also provide you with the proper education you need to succeed in this field as you do business abroad. Here you’ll cultivate the “sixth sense” required to do business in international markets—and that will make all the difference to your professional success. Of course, you’ll master core business practices, identify market trends, explore financial markets, and so on when enrolling in our international business bachelor's degree. But you’ll also develop an instinct for what’s appropriate in a given situation, for what’s being left unsaid, and for the ways different communication styles and customs can affect business transactions abroad. If you are looking for an international business school that offers hands-on experience in a challenging learning environment with other business professionals, then North Central College is the perfect place to start. We offer all of our business administration students challenging courses, trained faculty, and real-world experience that’s needed to succeed in an international relations career.

As an international business student you may also:

• Travel, study, and work internationally through our study abroad and international internship programs that we offer through our business program.
• Learn about the fair-trade coffee import business through work in Guatemala.
• Identify job opportunities through faculty and alumni networks and our Career Development Center.
• Apply what you’ve learned to international entrepreneurial projects through student organizations like the Entrepreneurship and International Business Organization (EIBO) and Enactus.
• Simulate trades and access thousands of proprietary reports and data screens in the Bloomberg Finance Lab, where 10 workstations are equipped with the Bloomberg Terminal software, the iconic dual monitors, and Bloomberg’s unique keyboards. In our international business program, you can also choose to become “Bloomberg certified” by completing a series of modules that cover economic theory, economic indicators, currencies, fixed income vehicles, options, equities, and more.
