Master of Business Administration - International Business

University of Tampa

The full-time/day program designed for accelerated completion with a group of peer students. Students take between 8 and 14 credit hours per semester of daytime classes. Students can complete the minimum of 40 hours in as few as 12 months. Well-trained, experienced professionals are needed to make businesses work across different cultures, political systems and economies. The international business concentration provides MBA students with a broad-based business background and develops an understanding and appreciation for the strategic, operational and behavioral aspects of managing in different countries. Students investigate the development and implementation of marketing techniques and programs on an international scale, and learn the special risks and problems encountered by multinational managers. International travel courses offer students a chance to encounter such challenges first-hand and learn the differences in how businesses operate in other countries. While some MBA graduates with an international concentration go on to manage businesses overseas, others work for global companies based in the U.S.
