The Katz Graduate School of Business offers two international dual degree programs for MBA students who want to develop significant expertise and depth in preparation for careers in international business or international affairs.

MBA/MIB: Do you see yourself at a multinational corporation? Are you ready to set yourself apart and be the go-to person for international assignments? If so, the MBA/Masters in International Business dual degree may be right for you.

The MBA/MIB emphasizes:

  • an overseas internship
  • international business course content
  • acquisition of in-depth international business understanding and skills
  • and advanced foreign language skills

Not only will you learn from top Katz professors during stimulating required and elective courses for both degrees, but you'll also experience an internship with a foreign company. It's learning by doing and it's where you'll have the opportunity to put your language and business skills to the test while making important international contacts, all the while gaining valuable and very marketable experience. Students in the MBA/MIB program have gained much from overseas internships with companies including:

  • Agence Bruxelloise pour l'Entreprise, Belgium
  • OSRAM GmbH, Germany
  • Forset Investment Group, Russia
  • Monterrey Tech, Mexico
  • CSAV SudAmericana de Vapores
  • OECD, France
  • Arthur D. Little, Singapore
  • Omron Corporation, LTD, Japan
  • Mospromstroie, Russia
  • Nature's Farm, Chile
  • Abrosoli, Chile
  • Frutas Gil, Spain
  • Banco Brascan, Brazil
  • Nutrifood, Chile
