International Business: Accounting

Overview

A major

You know accounting is the field for you and you understand that today all business is international business. The demand for international business graduates is greater than ever and expected to increase. Accounting in any organization – local, national, or global – is affected by decisions, trends, and events overseas.

Bryant’s International Business program is ranked 27 ^th in the nation by Bloomberg BusinessWeek . The curriculum is globally focused from your first semester on campus. Our program is one of the few in the country to offer concentrations in business functions including accounting, computer information systems, entrepreneurship, finance, management, and marketing. Expert faculty collaborate to help you develop a global perspective and a fundamental cultural knowledge of the world. You’ll understand the relevance of complex international issues faced by managers of multinational companies and the role of technology in business, especially as it relates to globalization.

Real projects, real companies, real experience

Before you graduate, you’ll have a strong theoretical foundation in international business. You will also have the unique experience of applying theories to a real-world situation through a senior year practicum. This intense project might pair you as a member of a team of students with a local business owner who wants to sell products in the United Arab Emirates, and a faculty member whose former career was overseeing the growth of a Chilean multinational forest products firm.

In the end, you’ll see your hard work make a difference, and the experience is one that prospective employers will want to hear about.

Bryant’s international Business/Accounting program will provide you with an in-depth understanding of this critical functional area of concentration. You’ll also become proficient in a second language and study abroad, where you can practice your language skills, deepen your global perspective, and immerse yourself in a different culture. By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running – in whatever country you decide to call home.
