International Business 

Major Overview 

ACM’s Bachelor of Arts in International Business (BAIB) degree has been designed to incorporate the important recognition in undergraduate business studies circles that?the liberal arts?should be incorporated in the traditional business studies curriculum.?The school leverages its liberal arts and business studies offerings with its international identity?and?strategic location?to provide students with an exposure to?European and Mediterranean countries. 

As part of its mission, ACM strives to create global ethical leaders and policy makers in an increasingly interconnected global community. The site-specificity of ACM allows students in the Bachelor of Arts in International Business program to engage in classroom discussions on European, French, Mediterranean, and North African topics facilitated by accomplished and well-traveled faculty.  

To further prepare them for the business marketplace, students are given the opportunity to participate in unpaid, for-credit internships available at local enterprises within Aix-en-Provence. Recent internships have been hosted at Euromediterranée (an urban development agency for the city of Marseille developing and building the sustainable city of tomorrow, Biopooltech (creates an eco-friendly swimming pool within wood and connected organic filtration and exports in many countries), and Hy2gen (develops plants to produce green hydrogen, green ammonia, and hydrogen-based e-fuels worldwide). These internships provide real-world experience in business and put ACM graduates at the forefront of their fields.
