International Business

Develop the perspective to understand business beyond borders. Fisher’s international business specialization examines how economic, cultural and political differences influence the way organizations compete, collaborate and operate around the world.

Through coursework in international business and related electives, you’ll examine topics such as global strategy, international trade, cross-cultural management and the economic environments in which multinational organizations operate. You’ll develop a broader understanding of the opportunities and challenges organizations face in a connected global economy.

An international experience is an essential part of the specialization. Through study abroad, an internship or another qualifying educational experience, you’ll take your learning beyond the classroom and gain firsthand exposure to another country and culture. Fisher’s Office of Global Business offers programs designed to help students build that global perspective.

You can also connect with internationally minded peers through opportunities such as the International Business Club and other organizations and experiences across Ohio State.

Explore the international business specialization below and prepare to approach business with a global perspective.
