The National Security and International Business Minor provides undergraduate students at The University of Texas at Austin with a broad knowledge of the interdependent relationship between national security on the one hand and private business, especially international business, on the other. Students graduate with an appreciation that the health of each domain is predicated on the strength of the other. This minor is part of the International Business program in the Business, Government & Society Department of the McCombs School of Business in coordination with UT’s Clements Center for National Security.

Admission to the National Security and International Business Minor, which is open to undergraduates across The University of Texas at Austin campus, is based on students’ overall academic records.
