International Business Administration

In our increasingly globalized world, more and more companies are operating across international borders, making effective cross-cultural management and innovative problem-solving methods even more vital to their enterprises. As you learn to address all the functional areas of business within an international context, your classes will emphasize discipline-based knowledge, so that you develop an understanding of basic business disciplines, as well as how to integrate the concepts, models, and techniques that are associated with business. Additionally, you will be given the tools to sharpen your skills in problem solving, IT, leadership, and communication.

The educational goals for this major are as follows:

• You will demonstrate critical thinking and the application of core competencies in business decision making.    
• You will demonstrate an understanding of how firms operate in a global environment.
• You will demonstrate the ability to communicate convincingly based on data and conceptual frameworks, in writing and orally.
• You will work collaboratively to achieve stated organizational goals.            
• You will apply a range of conventional and alternative frameworks and models to business decision making.
• You will show evidence of conceptual and strategic thinking put into practice.

Through small seminars and practical research, you’ll be given the space to practice problem solving, leadership, teamwork, and effective communication skills, while examining issues of global understanding, ethics, and responsibility. Our program takes full advantage of the multiple resources and support systems available thanks to our location in the heart of Paris, and these will allow you to acquire the skills you’ll need to succeed in a thriving, international environment.
