International Business

The world is a global marketplace. International Business allows you to solve different problems for different companies worldwide. If your interest includes managing goods and services across the globe, if you are interested in how different markets buy and sell products, or even if you are interested in how different countries’ laws and procedures operate, international business is the career for you.

Typical positions in international business include stockbroker, marketing manager, product manager, economist, or business leader, to name a few. The program offers courses that can prepare students to take the National Association of Small Business International Trade Educators Certified Global Business Professional Exam. Starting your career with an AAS in International Business from WCCCD will allow you to explore this varied and fascinating world.
