Global Business
The global economy and the Internet have made business much more competitive, and have expanded to markets never dreamed of in the past. As a student in Champlain’s Global Business bachelor’s degree program you will explore those markets, and the unique issues faced by international businesses, such as cross-cultural communication and understanding; international marketing; import/export procedures; international financial mechanisms; and international trade strategies and leadership.
As a student in our program, you will
- Work closely with a multinational corporation and/or an international government agency on specific international projects.
- Learn international leadership skills through the Global Leadership Initiative, a hands-on learning program designed to teach effective leadership skills for future business leaders in the global community.
- Begin your international business courses your first semester to develop a solid foundation. Work in teams on real-life projects with Vermont companies including Burton Snowboards, Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, JetBlue, as well as leading international business assistance organizations such as the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Vermont Global Trade Partnership and the State Chamber of Commerce.
