Success After Eckerd

The international business major requires a study abroad experience, which will open up the world for you and your studies.

Many students choose to visit the Eckerd College London Study Centre, and courses such as International Business and Management or Economic and Social Problems in Britain will give a new, global context to your learning. Other opportunities exist around the globe to fit your particular interests. Eckerd now has study centers in China and Peru.

The international business faculty has close ties with multinational corporations and business executives in the growing Tampa Bay area with the Tampa Bay International Trade Council and with the World Trade Center/Tampa Bay, leading to student opportunities for research, internships, and employment.
