Bachelor of Science - International Business and Economics

The international business and economics major at St. Catherine University is uniquely designed to prepare students for a career in an organization with a global perspective. Courses in business and economics will provide students with the critical thinking skills needed for many jobs in this area. Students will explore current international marketing, financial, and management issues along with important analytical techniques that help resolve problems in these areas - including use of the most recent technology for decision making. In addition to business and economics, courses in international political science, history, communications and foreign languages complement the major to provide students with a well-rounded foundation to lead and influence.

Outside of the classroom, our department works to provide all students with opportunities to enhance their St. Kate’s experience and increase the value they bring to organizations after graduation. Students can attend events hosted by the Minnesota Center for Diversity in Economics, such as “Socialism vs. Capitalism” or “The Economics of Immigration.” Economics Club is an outlet for students to engage with other passionate peers and local events. As an international business and economics major, students will gain practical experience through internship experiences that will prepare them to communicate and demonstrate their unique skills to potential employers. An internship in their major’s field will be an important way for students to gain practical experience. Students have interned at large and small organizations in the Twin Cities area such as Wells Fargo and Minnesota Environmental Partnerships.
