What You'll Become
The Bachelor of Science in International Business degree prepares you for a career in the global business market. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the growth of international business has led to an increase in demand for management analysts. Businesses hire management analysts to help them develop strategies for entering the international market, to advise them on laws for specific countries, and to help them with other business concerns, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Employment of management analysts is expected to increase 22 percent from 2006 to 2016, which is much faster than the average for all job categories, according to the labor report. This growth comes as industry and government rely more and more frequently on outside sources such as consulting firms, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
