The Department of Marketing and International Business prepares students for success in each of these areas. Our Marketing and International Business program trains students to establish consumer wants, translate needs into goods or services and eventually sell them in an increasingly aggressive international environment.

Hundreds of Zarb School graduates now work at Fortune 500 companies such as G.E. Capital, Integrated Business Systems, Inc., The Bank of New York, and Procter & Gamble, and still others have gone on to one of the Big Five accounting firms. This kind of success speaks for itself.

At Hofstra?s Merrill Lynch Center, the focus is on international finance. Global economic trends and foreign market research are just some of the areas of study we offer. Others include:

Development of services and products in international and foreign national markets

Financial institutions: Competition and expansion in the global marketplace.

Impact of regulation, technology and country-related factors on the development of financial services and markets

 While we?re on the subject of the global economy, let?s put emphasis on the word global. Zarb School students have an opportunity to study abroad at not one, but two of the premier institutes of business education ? Hong-Ik University in Seoul, South Korea, and Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the most renowned business school in Europe.

The Hofstra-Erasmus Joint International Business Program offers an opportunity for you to study international marketing and financial management in a unique multi-cultural environment. Hofstra students may also choose to study international business at Hong-Ik University in Seoul, South Korea. Here classes are taught in English by Hofstra faculty three days a week, allowing ample time for study and travel. Whether you?re looking for your first exposure to international business, or perhaps just curious as to how the rest of the world operates, Hofstra makes it possible.
