New York University's (NYU) Stern School of Business offers students two undergraduate choices through its Stern Undergraduate College: the core Business program and the Business and Political Economy program. Both are four-year undergraduate programs that lead to a bachelor's degree. The core business program, however, is an interdisciplinary one, which includes courses from the NYU College of Arts and Sciences. For those interested in international business in particular, the core Business program offers you the opportunity to participate in the Barr Family International Studies Program (ISP). ISP is a semester-long class that involves a spring break study abroad section in which students can make firsthand observations in foreign countries. ISP is held during the spring semester of a student's junior year, after he completes the Economics of Global Business course the prior fall semester.

The University of Pennsylvania (Penn) offers a program called the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business. This is a four-year program that leads to dual degrees, which are: Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Economics. Students in this program choose a "target language" and study the area of the world that speaks this language in order to gain a detailed understanding of that area's politics, economy, and culture. Students who are interested in international studies choose this program because it leads to two degrees concurrently and has required study abroad programs.
