MBA in International Business
The interdepartmental International Business Program (IBS) offers a graduate curriculum leading to the degree of MBA in international business.
This program prepares students for entry and managerial positions in a variety of firms, such as export and import companies, international-trade intermediaries, financial institutions, and multinational enterprises, both in the United States and abroad.
For students with an undergraduate degree in business administration, the program provides the opportunity to internationalize their knowledge of business functions; for students with other undergraduate degrees, it complements their core business courses in a similar manner. The Department of Marketing and International Business plays a vital role in coordinating and staffing this program.
