In this increasingly global economy, the Canadian business world is driven by knowledgeable professionals fluent in the varied aspects of international business. In order to succeed in this complex environment, international business managers have to recognize global events and their effect on business and must be able to effectively identify challenges and utilize business processes in this global dimension. As a graduate of this program, you are prepared for careers in international trade and marketing for small, medium and large organizations within many industry sectors. This field includes entrepreneurs, exporters, importers, trading house agents, business deployment banking, inventory planners, assistant purchasing agents, category buyers, assistant logistics, distribution administrators and global sales and account co-ordinators.
Students meeting all academic requirements may have the opportunity to complete an optional co-op work term(s) in a formal work environment. In most cases the work term(s) is a full-time paid position completed between two academic semesters. In programs with limited co-op opportunities, additional academic requirements and a passing grade on a communication assessment may be required for eligibility. Eligibility for participation does not guarantee a work position will be secured. Additional fees are required for those participating in the optional co-op stream regardless of success in securing a work position.
