Double major in Business (Finance or Operations) and English.
Yes, in international business you will need to know a second language, but a degree won’t do you any good — only practice and immersion will guarantee fluency. Master the English language first. That will enable you to create dynamic marketing campaigns, engaging magazines and well-written business documents. (The business world is choking to death on bad writing). GOOD LUCK!
