Field Description

Marketing is a strategic process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of goods and services to create exchanges that satisfy consumer and organizational objectives. Through its development and management of brand equity, marketing is fundamental to the successful functioning and profitability of any business, large or small. Students can examine the overall marketing management process by taking the general marketing track or may elect to focus on the advertising and marketing communication track or international marketing track.

International business is a multidisciplinary field of relevance to students of business with a broad range of interests and in preparation for careers in organizations ranging from small import-export firms to large multinational corporations.

The department offers a major in marketing management and a major in international business.

The Major in International Business

Baruch College has recognized international business as an important area of study for over 60 years. The new international business major (to begin in Fall 2010) will build on that history and provide students with a comprehensive understanding of international business principles as they apply in a business setting, expertise in a functional area (initially marketing or finance) within traditional business disciplines, appreciation and awareness of foreign cultures and practices in both business and social environments, knowledge of a second language to conduct business in a foreign country, and practical business experience in an international environment, i.e., the practicum project in the capstone course and possibly an international internship.

Students who graduate from this program will be some of the most well-rounded graduates because they have likely lived in a foreign country, learned a foreign language, worked on international projects, become an expert in a functional business area, and met the requirements of a Baruch BBA degree.

For a major in international business, students are required to take: (1) 21 credits of international-related courses (four core courses and three electives); (2) a three-course minor in either finance or marketing; and (3) a Tier III minor in a foreign language.

Information on the major, the internship, and language courses can also be obtained from the Weissman Center for International Business, located in Room 810, 137 East 25th Street, telephone: 646-312-2070, or from Professor Clifford Wymbs (Room 12-284 in the Newman Vertical Campus; telephone: 646-312-3299; clifford.wymbs@ baruch.cuny.edu).

Tier III Minor for International Business Majors

A Tier III minor is to be taken in a foreign language. Examples of Tier III language minors include Chinese, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. However, students who demonstrate proficiency in a second language via test can take another Tier III minor. Possible choices include Asian and Asian American studies; Latin American and Caribbean studies; information technology and social responsibility; religion and culture; and political science.

Minors for Business Major*

Students pursuing a non-marketing major within the Zicklin School of Business may choose between a minor in marketing or international business. Each minor consists of 9 credits.

Marketing
Choose any three courses (9 credits) from those offered by the Department of Marketing and International Business, except MKT 3000. The selection of courses should be based on the recognition that everyone, regardless of major, needs to engage in marketing, whether for oneself, one's business, one's product, or one's service. Accordingly, course selection should be based on an assessment of which courses will best further one's career goals. Note that most courses have pre or corequisites.

International Business †
International Business Principles3 credits
Plus two of the following, keeping in mind that most of these courses have pre- or corequisites:
International Trade Operations3 credits
International Marketing3 credits
International Logistics3 credits
International Economics and Finance3 credits
Law and International Business3 credits
Management of Multinational Corporations3 credits

**Optional second minors open only to students pursuing a major within the Zicklin School of Business.

†Marketing management majors (except those in the international marketing track) may elect the international business minor. They must substitute another international business course for MKT 3400 if used for the marketing management major.

Minors for Non-Business Major

Students in the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences or in the School of Public Affairs who wish to take business courses may do so by declaring a minor in marketing or in international business. Before declaring the minor, they must complete either BUS 1001 (1 credit) or have previously completed BUS 1000 (3 credits). To be awarded the minor, students must have a GPA of 2.0 or more in the courses included in the minor. Eligibility to declare such a minor is restricted to students who have an overall GPA of 2.0 or more at the time they declare the minor. Courses that apply to the minor may not be used for any other requirement. This minor does not fulfill the requirement to complete a Tier III minor.

Students must choose three courses (9 credits) from the following:
