International Trade, BS

The Bachelor of Science program in international trade provides talented, driven students with the exposure to the global business environment that will distinguish them in the workforce. Students learn the functional disciplines of international business while gaining an in-depth understanding of the political, cultural and economic aspects of doing business on a global scale and in international markets in which government regulations vary widely from country to country.

Supported by Thunderbird’s training that builds a global mindset, Thunderbird’s STEM-designated BS program provides rigorous training for a career in global commerce. Students gain tools for managing supply chains, systematically assessing risk, exporting and importing goods and services, and using economic agreements to develop effective strategies for conducting international trade.

This program is distinct in enabling students to learn new skills needed for a career in international trade through comprehensive hands-on training, and then to apply those skills during a local, national or international internship. Along with applicable learning experiences that open up global career opportunities, students attend courses taught by outstanding Thunderbird graduate school faculty and enjoy unique opportunities to learn from fellow students from around the world.
