The BIE program provides grants to institutions of higher education,  that enter into an agreement with a trade association to improve the academic  teaching of the business curriculum and to conduct outreach activities that  will assist the local business community to compete in the global arena.

Each program assisted with federal funds must enhance  primarily the international academic program of the institution. Eligible  activities may include but are not limited to: 
                - Innovation  and improvement of international education curricula to serve the needs of the  business community, including the development of new programs for  nontraditional, mid-career, or part-time students;
                - Development  of programs to inform the public of increasing international economic  interdependence and the role of American business within the international  economic system;
                - Internationalization  of curricula at junior and community colleges, and at undergraduate and  graduate schools of business;
                - Development  of area studies programs and interdisciplinary international programs;
                - Establishment  of export education programs through cooperative arrangements with regional and  world trade centers and councils, and with bilateral and multilateral trade  associations;
                - The  establishment of internships overseas to enable foreign language students to  develop their foreign language skills and their knowledge of foreign cultures  and societies;
