Preparing Graduates for the Global Marketplace
Combined with the international expertise of our functional departments, the Sonoco International Business Department provides the Moore School with unparalleled competence in the critical area of the conduct of business across national boundaries and diverse cultures. The department emphasizes understanding cross-border inter- and intra-organizational relationships comprising the modern multinational enterprise, as well as the institutional, financial, sociocultural and sociopolitical contexts within which the multinational enterprise is embedded. While our faculty is unified by this interest, we approach issues from a wide variety of disciplinary bases. Building on this diversity, we are particularly interested in understanding international business phenomena from multidisciplinary and multilevel perspectives.
The department offers an undergraduate international business major that has been consistently ranked as No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report.
