In the second phase of the program, which is completed at the University of South Carolina, students choose elective courses in international business and other functional fields to further develop their managerial skills.
Students also take a capstone course in the strategic management of the globally oriented firm.
After 12 months of intensive business courses, all students participate in a field consulting project for a company located anywhere in the world. The International MBA builds on the best of European and American management education. All students gain first-hand experience living overseas and working on a multicultural consultancy project. By combining academic preparation and practical experience, the IMBA program provides its graduates a sophisticated approach to managing in a complex global economy. The intensive 14-month curriculum enables students to continue their professional careers after a comparatively short time.
