Prepares students to become professionals with a distinct ability to understand and excel in the global marketplace. Students in this program have the opportunity to become bilingual through advanced study of another language, travel abroad extensively to experience cultural immersion in places like Paris and Shanghai, and broaden disciplinary experience by taking a minor from another business discipline. Students can earn their iMBA degree in one additional year. International business skills are increasingly valuable in our globalized world. Our students have gone to work at multinational companies including Aramark, Merrill Lynch and Citibank, just to name a few.
