The interdepartmental International Business Program (IBS) reflects Baruch College's commitment since 1947 to this important area of action and competence in globalizing economies.  The program is interdepartmental, and courses are distributed over several functional areas to meet the demand for graduates with both a broadly-based and an international business education.  The program prepares students for entry and managerial positions in a variety of firms, such as multinational enterprises, export and import companies, international-trade intermediaries, and financial institutions, 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.
