Business Administration with International Business Concentration

The Business Administration major with concentrations in Management and International Business at Saint Anselm College is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the disciplines that underpin decision-making in organizations: economics, accounting, operations, marketing, finance, and management. Exposure to each of these disciplines provides a multifaceted-perspective to be a successful contributor in established organizations or to start or run a business. After graduating with a Business Administration degree with a concentration in Management or International Business, our students go to work for large or small for profit and non-profit organizations or start-ups. Some take the opportunity to start their own businesses while others pursue graduate degrees.
