Overview
The International Master of Business Administration (I.M.B.A.) is a
professional degree providing a broad-based education for people who
aspire to be leaders in the global arenas of business. The I.M.B.A.

organizations, uncover opportunities and needs for organizational
success, analyze markets and business plans from multiple perspectives,
and integrate data and information, converting it into knowledge. The
required core courses in the disciplines of accounting, finance,
management, and marketing provide a global perspective for all students.
The program provides academic rigor and pragmatic relevance, affording
the opportunity to explore theory and practice. It is designed to
provide knowledgeable, ethical, and socially responsive leadership in
the global marketplace. Graduates become ambassadors to the world,
knowledgeable and understanding of world cultures, ideas, and people.
Candidates for the Master of Business Administration complete 33 credits
of graduate course work. The program includes an 18 credit International
Core, a Track of 12 credits, and an Integrative Capstone Experience of

management, management, marketing, management information systems, and
quantitative methods for business.
