Davenport University

What you'll study

The programme blends foundational business courses with specialised international topics. You will take core modules in accounting, finance, marketing, management and business law, alongside international business modules such as international trade and finance, global marketing, cross‑cultural management, international logistics and supply chain management. Coursework typically includes study of international economics, export/import regulations, risk management for global operations, and international business strategy.

Learning is application‑oriented: expect case studies, group projects, a capstone or senior practicum focused on a real-world international business problem, and opportunities for internships. Students can also pursue language electives, regional studies, and electives in areas such as global entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, and e‑commerce to tailor the degree toward particular career goals.

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold a high school diploma or equivalent. Admissions review generally considers academic record, completion of college preparatory subjects (including mathematics), and any relevant extracurricular or work experience. Transfer applicants are evaluated on post‑secondary transcripts and may receive credit for prior college coursework.

International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency through recognised tests or approved institutional alternatives if English is not their first language. Some applicants may be advised or required to take introductory business coursework before beginning upper‑level major classes. Specific GPA thresholds and prerequisite requirements are provided by the university's admissions office.

Career prospects

Graduates enter a wide range of roles that require understanding of global markets and cross‑border operations. Typical positions include international marketing coordinator, export/import specialist, global supply chain analyst, international sales manager, trade compliance specialist, and business development associate for multinational firms. Alumni also work in government trade agencies, logistics providers, financial institutions with international operations, consulting firms, and non‑profit or development organisations involved in international programmes.

The programme’s practical orientation and internship opportunities are designed to help students build professional networks and practical experience valued by employers operating in global business environments.
