The International Business specialization is a multidisciplinary course of study combining the international aspects of marketing, finance, accounting, and human resource management. This specialization represents a unique Kogod opportunity to combine traditional business disciplines with a global perspective.

The Kogod experience can be further enhanced by exposure to international study programs. Students are also encouraged to take maximum advantage of the richly diverse international community that Kogod and Washington DC have to offer.

Students who choose a specialization in International Business, International Finance, International Management, or International Marketing must satisfy a global experience requirement. This can be met either through completion of an approved study abroad program, an international internship, or successful completion of a comparable American University global immersion course. Exceptions to this requirement may be granted on a case by case basis by the Department of International Business. International students are exempt from this requirement.
