3 US business schools launching global careers

“These days, companies are jumping on automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital transformation to keep up in a data-driven economy. And these systems are only going to keep becoming more important. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 found that 60% of employers believe that technology will transform their organisations by 2030. As a result, there is a growing demand for business and information systems professionals who can design, implement, and manage these evolving digital systems. To keep up, employers are prioritising a new set of critical skills. In particular, expertise in AI and big data, networks and cybersecurity, and overall technological literacy are the three fastest-growing skill areas. If you’re thinking about going down this path, here are three business schools in the US you might want to explore. Alongside academic and internship opportunities, SOBIS regularly hosts guest speaker events, including a Women’s Leadership Initiative and a KPMG Mentorship programme.

With dedicated lecturers, advanced resources, and a vibrant campus, you’ll get the full university experience. And the best part? Every international student admitted to an undergraduate or graduate programme is automatically considered for a scholarship — making it even easier to take the first step toward your future. If you’re interested in data and business, the School of Business and Information Sciences (SOBIS) has a Bachelor of Business Analytics that explores marketing, economics, marketing research, statistics, big data, and data mining. You’ll develop skills in data analytics, predictive modelling, and decision-making, setting you up for careers like sales leaders, supply chain managers, business intelligence analysts, and business continuity planners. Felician’s business school offers a Sports Management Major with concentrations in Sports Analytics and from Fall 2026, a new BS in Women’s Sports Leadership and Management as well. Meanwhile, the Bachelor in Cybersecurity is an interdisciplinary programme that combines cybersecurity and criminal justice courses. They equip you with the technologies and methodologies to investigate and thwart cybercrime. For those looking to go further, SOBIS offers an MBA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship , which can be completed in as little as 18 months. It takes a hands-on approach, from a service-learning capstone where you’ll solve real challenges for non-profit organisations to an optional study abroad week in Ireland that’s included in your tuition. Whatever programme you pick, Felician helps you get ready for work early; Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT) opportunities are integrated into every programme . Cybersecurity students, for example, get hands-on experience through internships and fieldwork. There are opportunities outside your programme too, such as the United Nations Fellows Programme . Open to all majors, you can attend weekly briefings and conferences, and work with other non-governmental organisations at the United Nations. Felician is based in New Jersey, just a short bus ride from New York City and close to MetLife Stadium, which will host the 2026 World Cup Final, so you’re never far from exciting opportunities and experiences. But even with all that, the campus itself is in a quiet, peaceful area known for its safety and as a great place for students, especially women . With its strong academics and supportive learning atmosphere, it’s easy to see why 2,300 students call Felician home. At the University of Iowa’s Tippie College of Business, students evolve into the next generation of problem solvers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Source: Tippie College of Business/Facebook University of Iowa Ranked #1 in Iowa and #21 among the best public business schools in the country by US News & World Report 2026, the University of Iowa ‘s Tippie College of Business is built to shape entrepreneurs and industry leaders. If you’re looking for a place to challenge yourself and launch a career that matters, Tippie is a strong place to start. A great way to do that is through the Business Analytics and Information Systems (BAIS) undergraduate major. Here, you learn to work with programming languages and AI to solve real business problems and communicate your findings in ways that actually influence decisions. No technical background is needed to get started. Whether you already know how to code or simply love presenting ideas, this major has a path for you. Electives in areas like information visualisation, business process automation, or accounting information systems let you shape your studies around what interests you most. That flexibility carries real weight in the job market. The demand for data-savvy professionals is growing fast, and 95% of Tippie graduates are employed, continuing their education, or not actively seeking work after graduation. Beyond the numbers, you also build connections with a wide network of industry leaders who are actively looking to hire Tippie alumni. Making that investment more accessible is something Tippie takes seriously, offering over 200 scholarships to admitted students, typically awarded near the end of the spring semester. For international students, the BAIS major’s STEM designation means you may qualify for up to 24 months of Optional Practical Training after graduation, giving you more time to build your career in the US before employer sponsorship is required. At San Diego State University’s Fowler College of Business, students develop essential skills through industry-aligned programmes and real-world collaboration. Source: Fowler College of Business/Facebook San Diego State University Choosing the right business school is a big decision, and at San Diego State University ‘s (SDSU) Fowler College of Business , that choice comes with some strong credentials. Ranked #41 among public undergraduate business programmes by US News & World Report 2026, Fowler is built to prepare you for the real demands of today’s business world. Getting there starts with the right skills. Every programme here is built around what actually matters in the working world: leadership, analysis, teamwork, and communication. To ensure what you learn stays relevant, Fowler works closely with the San Diego business community to align its curriculum with what industry leaders are seeking right now. That industry focus carries through into the undergraduate programmes . Within the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, you have several paths to choose from. If you’re drawn to global markets and cross-cultural connections, the International Business major weaves together business coursework, a foreign language, and regional studies into one interdisciplinary major. It even leads to a joint Bachelor of Arts degree offered alongside the College of Arts and Letters. If technology interests you more, the Information Systems major could be a strong fit. The curriculum walks you through studying problems, designing solutions, and putting those solutions to work using the latest technology, while also setting you up for long-term growth as a manager in the field. Whichever direction you choose, you’ll be building on nearly 70 years of industry connections that have helped Fowler graduates land roles at Fortune 500 companies, startups, nonprofits, and small businesses alike. And with close to 800 scholarship opportunities available, SDSU is invested in helping you get there. *Some of the institutions featured in this article are commercial partners of Study International
