Develop your intercultural business skills in a diverse environment

Intercultural Immersion

One of the highlights of the MS in International Business program is that you will be working with faculty and students with extremely diverse backgrounds. You will experience a variety of learning formats including case studies, projects with businesses, lectures, and discussion, as well as group projects and presentations. All of these interactions will be with faculty and students with different geographic and cultural backgrounds, allowing you to experience a wide variety of viewpoints and experiences to help better develop your intercultural skills.

Bringing it all together with hands-on learning
