The Master in International Business (MIB) program has an exclusive international focus and is designed to enable graduates to operate successfully in positions of managerial responsibility in global corporations. The thirty (30) credit curriculum combines quantitative and basic business skills (12 credit hours) needed for sound decision-making with an international business core (18 credit hours) to provide students with a uniquely global perspective. Pre-requisites may apply. Cross-cultural management skills, regional business practices and an international business internship/field experience are essential components of the program.
