Understanding how these different fields intersect with one another is at the heart of the international business.
Ashton’s Business programs and courses focus on preparing students for working in a globalized trade environment. Students will walk out of the program with a thorough understanding of the contemporary business environment and trends, and increased industry-specific knowledge (international trade law, global marketing, financial strategies, market strategies and sales, among other topics).
Business programs and courses give graduates multiple opportunities to further progress in their career in international business, international trade and business management. Some of the possible career paths include: shipping specialist, business development manager, customs inspector, marketing manager, foreign investment analyst, market research analyst, risk analyst, marketing representative, tax accountant assistant, export sales manager, procurement manager, international trader, trade analyst, and international management consultant and government employee at all levels of the government.
