About SHSU Economics and International
Business
The Department of Economics and International
Business is one of four academic units of
the College of Business Administration (COBA)
at the Sam Houston State University. The
department offers courses that lead to majors
and minors in ECONOMICS
as well as in INTERNATIONAL
BUSINESS for the undergraduate program
in business administration. It also offers
graduate courses that are part of the Master
of Business Administration curricula.
The Economics program is intended for students
seeking a logical, ordered way of looking
at various business and economic problems.
The principles, approaches, and conclusions
learned from the study of economics form
the basis for developing sound policies
in business, government, and personal life
decisions. The study of economics is an
effective way to prepare for several types
of career, including management training
programs in corporations and financial institutions
of all sizes; federal, state, and local
government employment in administrative
and staff positions dealing with analysis,
planning, and control functions; analyst
positions on corporate staffs; and graduate
education in law, business, public administration,
urban studies, and economics.
The International Business program is designed
for students preparing for positions with
business, government, or international agencies
dealing with international trade and foreign
investments. As a result of the growing
importance of international trade in the
world economy, domestic and multinational
corporations will face a growing need for
employees with specialized training in matters
relating to international trade. The study
of international business is an effective
way to prepare for several types of career,
including management training programs in
domestic and multinational corporations;
federal, state, and international agency
employment in administrative and staff positions
dealing with analysis, planning, and control
functions. It is also an excellent preparation
for graduate education in international
relations, diplomacy, international law,
business, public administration, and economics. |
