About the Program

International studies helps you understand the world beyond borders by studying global issues, cultures, politics, economics and international cooperation.

Business administration examines how businesses, nonprofits, governments, and other organizations manage people, finances, marketing, operations and strategy to achieve their goals.

This unique dual degree program allows you to choose both disciplines by studying in our flagship International Studies program for your first two years, followed by two years at France’s #1 business incubator, the emlyon business school. Thanks to a bilingual education, international professional experience and the unique skillset developed from combining these two programs, graduates can pursue a variety of careers within Canda and beyond.
