International Business Double Major
The days of having boundaries in day-to-day business has virtually vanished. Technology has made it easier to conduct business with anyone, anywhere and at anytime. Culture, language, political systems, geography, and socioeconomic factors all influence business practices and all individuals planning a career in business must understand the details of conducting business with people from other countries - whether it is done within the United States or outside its borders. Knowledge of global issues is critical for business majors to be equipped for a career in any functional area of the business world (accounting, finance, marketing, information systems management, etc.). Studying international business will prepare you for various business opportunities, knowing in advance that respect for and awareness of your international partners can give you a competitive advantage. Possible pairings with International Business include:
Information Systems Management
	Information systems are the backbone of any organization. From marketing to supply chain management, employers utilize information technology to support the major functions and activities of their organization.
Accounting
	The growth of international business also has led to more demand for accounting expertise and services related to international trade and accounting rules, as well as to international mergers and acquisitions. These trends should create more jobs for accountants and auditors.
Finance / Investment Management
	An International Banking Officer or Associate is a field with great job prospects because of emerging international markets. You could either be working in a domestic banking institution with foreign accounts or foreign owed institutions who are licensed to do business in your country. Experience in this career can lead to many other international positions such as managerial posts within federal finance departments or with global organizations such as the World Bank.
Economics
	At the federal government level, the International Trade Administration provides assistance and advice to exporters in the US. Job titles can include international trade specialist, international economist, economist, and import compliance specialist.
Marketing
	Cultural advisers can assist in market research for companies wishing to expand their market overseas and in foreign career placement.
Entrepreneurship
	The majority of jobs in international business involve sales and marketing — in a traditional role, on contract, or as an entrepreneur.
Legal Studies
	Attorneys may have a position that requires working with legal issues affecting transnational business transactions, investment, and trade.
Leadership and Change Management
	There is a growing demand for managers who have a global perspective, and this double major equips you with a number of skills which make you attractive to a range of employers, particularly multinational enterprises.
Supply Chain Management
	Virtually every critical business activity is a component of the supply chain, both locally and worldwide.
