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.

To earn the Master in International Business degree, the student must successfully complete:

Management-related courses	12 Credits
Required International Business Courses	15 Credits
International Business Electives	3 Credits
TOTAL Degree Program Requirements	30 Credits

An additional three preparatory courses might be required to provide the needed base skills for those students who have not successfully completed the following undergraduate equivalencies: 6 credits in accounting (3 credits in Accounting Principles I, and 3 credits in Accounting Principles II), 6 credits in economics (3 credits in Micro-economics, and 3 credits in Macro-economics), and 3 credits in business statistics. Preparatory courses are offered in two formats: traditional classroom format with three (3) semester hours of credit each, and an alternative one (1) semester hour, self-paced independent study format.

Students are required to maintain a 3.0 (B) cumulative grade point average at all times for continuation in the program.
