The Master of Science in International Business (MSIB) program is designed to provide students with knowledge, skills and abilities to collect, organize and analyze a variety of data in a changing and uncertain global context — and make informed decisions for their organizations.
The program provides students with a strong foundation of business and technical knowledge and skills, enhances their global mindset, and gives them the opportunity to apply what they've learned in two application challenges: an international business "desk study" capstone and a "field study" study-abroad capstone course.
The program opens with a hybrid (part online, part in-person) non-credit bearing orientation program called "Managing in a Changing World," where students are assigned a collection of multi-media materials based on current business events, discuss them with fellow students, alumni, and faculty in online discussions, and conduct site visits and attend lectures at the World Bank, USAID, and other D.C.-based government, private-sector, and NGO organizations during a two-day orientation.
The program concludes with a one-credit hour professional development seminar, where students attend weekly workshops, featuring guest speakers from government, private-sector organizations, and NGOs, to discuss how these organizations are responding to the changing and uncertain global environment — and provide students with tips for how they can best leverage the knowledge, skills and abilities gleaned in this program to add value to international business organizations.
