COURSE CURRICULUM

The International Business specialization at Fairleigh Dickinson University builds on the MBA core curriculum by adding focused coursework that develops expertise in global trade, international finance, and cross-border economic systems. Students complete three dedicated specialization courses that deepen their understanding of how businesses operate in a globally interconnected marketplace. The first course, Principles of International Business (IBUS 6610), introduces the foundational concepts of managing organizations across different countries, including cultural, political, and regulatory differences that affect international operations. The second course, International Business, Economics, and Trade (IBUS 6620), focuses on global economic systems, trade policies, exchange rates, and how international markets interact and influence corporate decision-making. The third course, International Corporate Finance and Trade (IBUS 6630), emphasizes financial strategies used by multinational corporations, including international investment decisions, risk management, and global capital flows. Together, these courses prepare students to understand and manage the complexities of operating in global markets, including navigating trade regulations, financial volatility, and economic interdependence among nations. The specialization is designed for students aiming for careers in multinational corporations, international banking, consulting, trade organizations, and government agencies involved in global economic policy. It also supports those who wish to pursue advanced academic or research-oriented paths in international business and economics.
