A truly global institution, we were the first business school to have our own campuses on three continents, and our alumni network spans more than 120 countries.
Our MBA concentration in international business immerses you in the micro- and macroeconomic topics that are critical to a broad understanding of today’s global economic environment and the role of governments and institutions as economic agents.
In our flexible curriculum, you’ll explore questions at the heart of the global economy: How are exchange rates determined? Why do some countries grow faster than others? What are the risks of conducting business in an emerging market? Your insights into these and other important questions will propel your career in an international environment.
Customize your MBA education with a concentration in international business by choosing at least three courses in this discipline. Here are just a few of the options.
You will develop an understanding of issues in international macroeconomics that are important for managers operating in the global marketplace. The course covers theories of the determination of exchange rates and interest rates, the management of foreign exchange risk, international capital flows, debt and currency crises, international monetary and exchange rate regimes, the roles of the international financial institutions in developing countries, and other characteristics of international financial markets.
Why is the United States the wealthiest country in the world? How can we understand the emergence of China and India in the last two decades? What explains growth disasters of countries such as Venezuela and Sub-Saharan Africa? Why has Brazil not emerged as a growth miracle despite its enormous potential? We will develop an analytical framework to examine the role of financial markets, labor market regulations, tax policy, and trade policy in understanding a country's growth experience.
