Learn About International Business Programs

While the COVID-19 pandemic challenged most academic institutions, it allowed us to utilize and implement new and creative methods of communication. Our EMIB cohorts of students and faculty meet on campus for class, and we also offer online participation options. The high level of academia this program has possessed for more than 35 years remains consistent, with even more innovative ways initiated to complete team projects and conduct classroom discussions.

Your need to grow and accelerate your career remains at the heart of our mission. We are optimistic and are actively accepting applications for our next cohort. Generous scholarships are still available.
