University of North Florida

What you'll study

The programme blends foundational business studies with specialised international topics. Core coursework covers accounting, finance, marketing, management, business law and quantitative methods to build broad business literacy. International business-specific modules typically include international marketing, global supply chain and logistics, international trade and policy, cross-cultural management, global finance and currency risk, and international business strategy.

Students engage in applied learning through case studies, simulations, group projects and a capstone or practicum experience that emphasises international decision-making. Optional components often include language study, a study abroad semester or short-term faculty-led international trips, and internship placements with exporters, logistics firms, multinational corporations, government trade offices or non-governmental organisations.

Entry requirements

Admission requirements align with standard undergraduate admissions at the University of North Florida. Prospective students typically need an accredited high school diploma or recognised equivalent. Academic preparation in mathematics and English is important, and successful applicants demonstrate a solid record in college-preparatory coursework.

International applicants must meet the university's English proficiency requirements and provide documentation of secondary education credentials. Transfer applicants should present college transcripts showing satisfactory completion of relevant general education or business prerequisite courses. Admission to the Coggin College of Business may have additional GPA and prerequisite course expectations once students apply to the business programme.

Career prospects

Graduates enter a wide range of international and domestically focused roles where global understanding is an asset. Typical job titles include international business analyst, export/import coordinator, global supply chain analyst, international marketing manager, trade compliance specialist, and international sales representative. Some graduates pursue roles in multinational corporations, logistics and freight companies, banks and financial services, government trade agencies and international development organisations.
