International Business is a very general degree. You take some classes in economics, some accounting, some management, some marketing, some IT, etc. You are probably also required to take a higher number of credit hours of a foreign language than other majors. You get a little bit of everything. Because of this, many schools either require or strongly recommend some sort of emphasis: either a concentration, a second major, or a minor in some area that interests you.

You’ll find that many people wouldn’t recommend this major by itself. Pairing with economics as a double degree (as you seem interested) would likely be a solid choice if you don’t mind the extra expense/time.

I was an International Business major but have switched to Accounting for better employment prospects.
