Businesses continue to explore international opportunities as globalization expands. A concentration in international business opens up exciting career opportunities for managers with an MBA. The MBA-IB (international business) offers an opportunity to build a sound foundation in international business, preparing students for careers in an increasingly interconnected global business environment. The concentration offers a flexible learning experience that extends functional skills to deal with managerial issues in the international marketplace as well as enhance students’ intercultural awareness and effectiveness.
