International Business Concentration
The international business concentration is comprised of classes that are relevant to the International Business world, with instructors who are devoted to their students. It is a very valuable degree to obtain.
The international business faculty work closely with Career Services. Throughout the year, recruiters from business firms and government agencies come to campus to interview seniors. In addition, faculty will work with you to help you connect with companies in the field of international business. You will have the opportunity to attend workshops and seminars both on and off campus to develop contacts with professionals in a variety of international fields.
International Experience
In addition to your academic studies, you will have a chance to gain on-the-job experience through two programs offered by the University.
In the Cooperative Education program, you can be placed in a job related to your major. You not only gain valuable hands-on experience, but also receive credit toward your degree and may earn money for your education.
The second program enables you to participate in non-paid internships coordinated through the School of Business. Both programs have developed excellent relationships with businesses throughout Kansas and in other states.
Shanna Smith, Overland Park, Kansas, participated in the six-week summer program at the Université d'Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand, France. "The job interviewers were very impressed that I would take the initiative to participate in an international experience in order to see how the business world works not only in the U.S., but in other nations as well."
Connie Richards, Emporia, Kansas, participated in the Puebla, Mexico program. "By going to Mexico, I have met many people and learned how the people actually are and what you should do or not do. I have used and applied to my studies the knowledge and experience I have gained from this trip. This experience has made a difference on how I view international business and the world."
