The
International Business minor at Penn State Harrisburg is an
academic minor available to students who are majoring in accounting,
finance, marketing,
management, or information systems. Organizations are becoming
increasingly international in the scope of their operations
and routinely conduct
business around the world. Proficiency in a foreign language and
study abroad along with selected electives provide an understanding
of the social, cultural, and political context of the global marketplace.

with many opportunities to experience the exciting and challenging
world of business. |
