Business Administration and Economics
What are the tough questions you should ask any school you are considering?
We are glad you are interested in the International Business major at Brockport, but look at the other programs in SUNY or elsewhere.
Ask them these five questions and then come back to Brockport and ask us these same questions.
- Does your International Business major have the International Business HEGIS CODE (i.e. a HEGIS CODE that is different from
the Business Administration major HEGIS CODE)?
If the answer is NO, the program is just a CONCENTRATlON, NOT A MAJOR (no matter what the catalog says).
- Does your International Business major have a language requirement beyond the
introductory level?
If the answer is NO, the program may produce International Business majors who may have difficulty taking a taxicab from the airport to a meeting.
- Does your International Business major require an INTEGRATED CROSS-CULTURAL
group of courses?
If the answer is NO, you will limit your perspective on how businesses operate in a global environment.
- Will your International Business major be guaranteed the opportunity to do an
internship overseas? If not, is there opportunity for them to intern in a
business located in the country that is the source of 41% ($13 Billion) of New
York State's exports?
If the answer is NO, you will miss a valuable opportunity to put your learning into action.
- Does your International Business major offer a balance between Business
courses (with an emphasis on the practical aspects of international
business) and Economics courses (with an emphasis on economic theory and
planning)?
If the answer is NO, you will miss the opportunity to integrate and synthesize the practical aspects of business established with economic theory and planning.
