SUMMARY

A degree in International Business is a valuable choice and frequently a necessary first step for scholars endeavoring to pursue a career as an international business finance analyst, a consultant, or an accountant. Interestingly, international business is somewhat popular ranking as the 71st most popular major. Last academic year alone, there were 6,509 international business graduates. In-state tuition for international business at private institutions is, on average, 4.1 times more expensive than their public rivals.

There are 461 colleges that offer international business. 461 schools is fairly average in terms of the number of institutions which offer each degree. If you're hoping to immerse yourself with other international business students, consider schools in Florida which have more undergrads admitted to international business than any other state. More generally, the top region to get a degree in international business is in the Southeast region with Florida International University, University of Georgia, and University of South Carolina-Columbia best representing the region. Interestingly, our pick for the best conference to study international business is the Conference USA with Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, and University of North Carolina at Charlotte representing the conference. From our list on the best colleges, our choice for the best university for international business is Georgetown University.

The objectively best school does not mean it is the 'best' school for every student. There can be a bunch of factors to think about when choosing ​university. Things like campus amenities, transportation services, and food could affect your choice on where to go to school. At authority.org, we weighed the pros and cons for you.

If, for example, you are very interested in which college has the best campus, we have an entire list dedicated to that. We have carefully pored through government databases, student reviews, professor reviews, and more so we can compare each major in an unbiased and informative way. You can find our well researched list for the colleges with the best student life&nbsphere and from that list, our choice of the school with the best student life for international business is Georgetown University.
