The undergraduate International Business (INB) program is distinct in that it operates within a college of professional studies: it is not part of a business school. The INB department offers a comprehensive, liberal arts based, interdisciplinary approach to the study of international business. All INB majors take courses in international business, area studies, and a foreign language and must complete an approved international business internship and study abroad experience. We are highly committed to teaching and student-centered learning, program development, and new educational technologies, in addition to more traditional scholarship.

The successful candidate will be committed to the teaching of Quantitative methods, Business Statistics and International Business in a liberal arts setting. Through its mission, Rollins College is committed to creating a fully inclusive, just community that embraces multiculturalism; persons of color and other historically under-represented groups are therefore encouraged to apply. The College’s equal opportunity policy is inclusive of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and Rollins offers domestic partner benefits.
