Auburn University at Montgomery

What you'll study

The International Business bachelor’s combines foundational business coursework with specialised international topics to build skills in strategy, analysis and cross-cultural management. Early semesters emphasise core business disciplines—accounting, finance, management, marketing and quantitative methods—while later study focuses on international applications.

• Core business foundations: financial and managerial accounting, corporate finance, principles of marketing, organisational behaviour and business law.
• International major modules: international marketing, international finance, global supply chain and logistics, cross-cultural management, international trade and customs regulation, and comparative international business policy.
• Analytical and elective options: business analytics/data-driven decision-making, international economics, entrepreneurship, and language electives to strengthen communication in a second language.
• Experiential learning: internship or practicum placements with multinational firms or local exporters, case competitions and applied projects with community and corporate partners.
• Capstone: a strategic international business capstone or senior project that integrates coursework into a market-entry plan, international market analysis or global supply-chain solution.

Typical structure

Students complete a programme of general education alongside business core and major requirements. The degree usually progresses from introductory business courses to specialised international electives, concluding with experiential components such as an internship and a capstone project. Opportunities exist to take study-abroad options, short-term faculty-led trips or international internships where available.

Entry requirements

AUM considers applicants based on secondary school academic record and completion of college preparatory courses. Typical requirements include a recognised high-school diploma or equivalent and successful completion of university admissions processes.

Mature applicants or those with substantial work experience may be considered through standard admissions pathways. Additional requirements can include submission of transcripts, a personal statement and any required placement assessments for business courses.
