International Business Curriculum

The Gannon international business program’s curriculum is both exciting and interesting as it is a combination of the following: all the functional areas of business, including accounting, finance, management and marketing; the international dimension of each of the functional areas of business; and social science disciplines, such as economics, geography, history, political science, foreign languages and culture.
