About the MBA/Master of International Business Dual-Degree
With this dual-degree program students can earn an MBA and a Master of International Business degree in two years. To qualify for the program, candidates must have a minimum of two years of college-level language education or the equivalent proficiency in a second language. In addition, an integral part of the program is a required foreign internship in which a relevant foreign language is used in the work setting on a routine basis.
Requirements
The MBA/MIB dual degree requires the core MBA work plus required MIB courses as well as MBA and MIB electives, for a total of 64.5 credits.
The distinguishing features of the MBA/MIB program are the language requirement and the two- to three-month internship conducted overseas in the student's designated foreign language, in the summer months between the first and second years of full-time study. The objective of the internship is twofold: to gain valuable business experience, as well as to experience first-hand the language, culture, and business environment of a foreign country.
Admission Requirements
In addition to the MBA requirements, students must have high proficiency in the foreign language they're designating as their second language as well as documentation of past international experiences and international career objectives for the future.
