International Business and Trade

Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies

Washington, DC is an ideal location for the study of international business and trade: 75% of all multinational corporations now have offices there. In addition, there are trade and professional associations, foreign embassies and federal agencies. The first part of the program explores major issues, such as export/import procedures, foreign investment, and political risk analysis. The latter part of the semester analyzes specific business opportunities in various parts of the world. Prerequisites: Econ 200, Econ 251 and Econ 252.

There are two sections of this program; SLU does not award credit for the International Business & Trade program that includes a travel module to China or to India.
