JOIN THE SPECIALISTS IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

A traditional business education is no longer enough to navigate confidently in today’s global marketplace. Succeeding in the

current business environment requires going the extra mile. Refining your focus. Delving deeper.

Welcome to Florida International University’s Master of International Business program.

We are the only university in Florida that has achieved national acclaim for both our undergraduate and graduate pro-

grams in international business. U.S.News & World Report, BusinessWeek, Hispanic Business and AméricaEconomía

have all recognized the quality of our innovative programs and noted our growing reputation for preparing leaders with

international expertise.

Our MIB presents a unique opportunity for people who already possess a signifi-

cant business background to obtain a specialization in international business

from one of the nation’s premier experts in the field. You’ll learn from and

collaborate with some of today’s most vibrant minds in higher education and

business while living in one of the world’s great international cities. FIU takes

advantage of everything our location in a thriving metropolitan area has to

offer. Now you can, too.

The MIB is designed for individuals with a strong business orienta-

tion (a bachelor’s or master’s degree in business or a related field

and/or significant work experience in the field) who wish to deepen

their understanding of international business practices and opportuni-

ties. This specialized degree focuses on the key skills, behaviors, and

techniques critical to understanding and succeeding in today’s global

environment.

Our Master of International Business program is flexible, allowing

you to pursue an advanced degree that’s compatible with your work

schedule and family commitments. You can enroll either full-time or

part-time, and you can enter the program at the start of any semes-

ter. You also have the option of completing the MIB as part of a Dual

Degree program with one of our partner schools in The Americas,

Europe, or Asia (see pages 10-11).

We offer joint degree programs with the Master of Science in Finance

(MSF) and with the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program

within the FIU Chapman Graduate School of Business, as well as with

the FIU Law School (JD). Under the joint degree programs, a student

can obtain both degrees in less time than it would take to obtain both

degrees if pursued consecutively.

IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE

I had the chance to customize the program more or less as I wished, and to study the

topics that were important to me.

All of the theoretical training is applied to the real world, I found that to be very useful.

I was lacking international experience, and the idea of coming to Miami and focusing my edu-cation on international business was the main

factor in knowing I made the right choice.

Growing Recognition

You’ll be proud to study at FIU’s prestigious Chapman Graduate School of Business. Ours is the only Florida business school included in U.S.News & World Report’s rankings of the top 25 master’s programs with an international business focus.

Our College of Business Administration is ranked among the top 15 percent of accredited busi-ness schools in the United States, according to BusinessWeek. And Fortune Small Business recently named FIU one of “10 Cool Colleges for Entrepreneurs” in the country.

In keeping with our emphasis on personal atten-tion, class sizes are kept small, creating an ideal environment for student-faculty interaction and for individual attention in career planning and related services. This open communication between stu-dents and faculty enhances your overall educa-tional experience and provides you with continu-ous support.

Contemporary Curriculum

Our program’s international and multicultural per-spectives infuse all coursework. In addition to the traditional classroom lectures and presentations by faculty and guest speakers, you’ll participate in case studies, team research projects, and ana-lytical exercises; get involved in class discussions, study groups, and written and oral presentations; and take an active part in computer modeling and analyses, role playing, and global corporate simu-

lations. The result is a dynamic teaching and learn-ing environment for faculty and students alike. It’s a setting that fosters interaction, fresh insights, and lasting knowledge.

There are plenty of opportunities for you to tailor the program to your particular interests. We offer a Dual Degree program where you can earn a second master’s degree at one of our partner institutions, an International Business Trip, and a Master’s Project in which you will serve as a consultant to an international company – all geared to add more value to your experience.

One Class, Many Cultures

You’ll find your classmates in the MIB pro-gram reflect the imagination and diversity of the global community. The average age of our MIB student is 27, and approximately 42 percent of our candidates are women. In the last 3 years alone, more than 30 countries were represented in FIU’s Master of International Business classes.

As a student in the program, you’ll be encouraged

to add your own unique voice to classroom discus-

sions and projects. It is all part of your experiential

learning that transcends textbooks and lectures.

The Miami community is as colorful as its cultural mix. An urban metropo-

lis bordered by white-sand beaches and a unique environmental preserve,

Miami is a city of great contrasts and cultural exchange.

Ever the boomtown, Miami bridges the gap between North America, the

Caribbean, Central and South America, as well as other parts of the world.

This geographic advantage has positioned Miami as an international hub

for national and multinational firms in pursuit of international business.

Technology, international commerce and banking, travel and tourism, and

entrepreneurship all flourish in this dynamic environment.

One of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities becomes your extended learning arena when you join the Master of International Business program at Florida International University.

An important aspect of the program is the fact that you get to know perspectives from different cultures, and you get to learn how

other cultures do business.

One of the greatest strengths is thatyou get a well-rounded view of how

business works.

I think one of the program’s greatest strengths is the diversity it offers. I had classmates from all over the world and that really attracted me to the program.

5

One of the strengths of the program is the collaboration of business profes-sionals who provide hands-on, real business cases to the students.

I would recommend the program to any student with an international in-terest, and by attending FIU, you have access to a multi-cultural environment with high-quality courses.

“On behalf of the Sofitel team, I would like to

thank you for the pro

ject you did for our org

ani-

zatiom. It was delightful to work with you. All of

you displayed a professional dem

eanor, communicated

effectively and we are very

satisfied with the

final outcome of the projec

t. We look forward

to implementing some of your reco

mmendations in

the near future.”

“First of all, I wanted to thank all of

you for

allowing us to be part of this proce

ss - we enjoyed

working with Monica (x2), Filippo and Marco very

much. I speak on behalf of my two partners

when

I say that all of them were amazing. They showed

great professionalism, listened a

nd executed

extremely well what was asked of them. The

research and findings the

y made available to

us are invaluable and will save us a

tremendous amount of time”.

The Master’s Project –a highlight of the MIB program– gives you the in-valuable opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience in applying the concepts learned throughout the program. Organized in multinational groups, you and your team members will be management consultants for a semester under the direction of a faculty member. You’ll be assigned to a company or non-profit organization that has agreed to participate in the program by contributing a current interna-tional strategic or operational issue that they are facing. After research-ing the problem and analyzing the data obtained, you will present your findings and recommendations to company executives at the end of the semester. Some recent Master’s Projects have included: a location analysis for the Latin American operations of an information industry firm; a buy vs. lease recommendation for an entertainment industry company looking to ex-pand their international footprint; a South Asian market entry strategy for a medical supplies company; a survey of business-to-business opportuni-ties in South Florida for a European hospitality chain; and a benchmark study of centralized vs. decentralized organizational models of handling local and international operations for a supply chain management firm.

MASTER’S PROJECT: PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

The Master of International Business at FIU gave me the opportunity to have one of the most unforgettable

travel experiences of my life.

In Spring 2009, the MIB organized an amazing trip to DUBAI, the most populous of the seven United Arab Emirates, in order to enrich multi-

cultural learning with important real practice. Dubai shows a lesson to the

world: There are no impossibles...

We also visited some important com-panies and financial entities in order

to study their business culture, vision, and work strategies.

Thank you, FIU, for getting us closer to other cultures in this vast world.

This multicultural learning will defi-nitely result key in our professional

development.

Each year, students in the MIB program are invited to learn more about the global marketplace

through par ticipation in the International Business Trip. This 10-day excursion, designed to illustrate how business is done outside of the United States, features visits with execu-tives from international corporations as well as cultural visits.

Recent trips have been to France, Italy, Spain, China, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Dubai.Marisela Gonzalez (MIB 2009)

A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES

As a leader in international business education, we offer you the chance to earn complementary business degrees in two countries through our network of distinguished part-ner schools. In a feature that is unique to our Dual Degree program, partner schools accept credits earned by stu-dents at both institutions and provide an integrated struc-ture, allowing you to seamlessly transition and acquire a second degree. That makes the Dual Degree program fast-er and less expensive than pursuing two separate degrees sequentially.

In the program, you’ll gain a deeper exposure to interna-tional business by living and studying in a different cul-ture and business environment for at least 8-9 months.Additionally, you’ll gain access to two networks of business contacts and colleagues and exposure to two sets of po-tential employers.

If you’re a student from a partner school, you would typi-cally complete one year toward your MBA degree at your home institution first and then attend the MIB program at the Chapman School for two semesters to complete both degrees. If you are a Chapman School student, you would begin your studies in our MIB program and then transfer to a partner institution to complete your requirements for their MBA degree.

International students participating in the program at FIU have the option of applying for a 12-month Optional Practi-cal Training (OPT) at a U.S.-based corporation once they have earned their dual degrees.

RELEVANCE THROUGH RESEARCH

12

The idea of having a specialized masters as something that sets me apart from other candidates that have an MBA really attracted me to the program.

The fact that the program is ranked among the top in the country made the program very enticing.

Business operates in an interna-tional context; being in a class with people from different back-grounds and perspectives really enhances the learning experience.

ABOUT US

16

The MIB program attracted me because international business is not an ad-hoc component; the entire program is concentrated on interna-tional business.

One of the main reasons why I chose the MIB is the diversity of the student body. In our program 90 to 95 percent were people who came from all over the world.

The FIU MIB program is incredibly strong academically. Despite all of my business experience, I have learned many new methodologies and ideas that I can apply to the international business arena.

The fact that Miami is the gateway to Latin America opens the door for students to do internships or work for multinational companies.
