Addresses the growing demand for professionals with cross-cultural knowledge and business acumen. The curriculum integrates economics, culture, language, and technology with practical business skills. The program leverages case studies, team projects, internships, and direct interaction with executives and entrepreneurs. By merging global business perspectives with an understanding of markets and society, TUJ's IBS Program empowers graduates to thrive in the ever-evolving landscape of international business.
TUJ offers a truly international experience—inside and outside the classroom, as well as among students and faculty. This will prepare you for a challenging career anywhere in the world. The innovative International Business Studies program challenges students to integrate language studies, an understanding of world affairs and hands-on internship experience. Students will develop the global mindset that multinational institutions need in the 21st century.
TUJ students learn how to work with people of similar backgrounds and with those who are often quite different in how they approach life and their studies. We train our students not only to be multilingual but also to navigate across cultures and borders. Our program teaches them to think critically, form a well-reasoned opinion, and then capably express that opinion. This is accomplished through class participation, visits to local businesses, and by bringing savvy international professionals into the classroom. With those tools, our graduates move confidently into the world and launch productive, interesting and viable global careers.
