All MIB students balance their education by taking a series of required core classes in addition to having the flexibility to pursue individual interests through elective classes. The core provides a foundation of skills and knowledge while the variety of electives allows students to customize their education to suit their own interests.
During the first year, MIB students fulfill their core classes in international business and economics, with flexibility to take electives to support their international affairs core requirements, the fields of study, and skill-building for summer internships. During the second year, MIB students complete their requirements and take additional elective classes. Students have the option of participating in an international exchange program during the first semester of the second year.
