The MIB program prepares students to be future leaders by honing the analytical skills that allow them to connect the dots across many different arenas including business, politics, law, and economics. MIB alumni go on to leadership roles in multinational companies and international NGOs, serve as diplomats, and create social impact through their work in public policy.What makes the MIB unique The program is a hybrid business/international affairs degree that teaches students the most crucial business skills, as well as the international savvy needed to succeed in a global business environment. Through flexible electives and two fields of study one in international business and the other in international affairs the MIB curriculum ensures that students understand how companies operate in the complex context of our globalized society.<br> <br>This field prepares students for careers that leverage the private sector and management skills as tools for social impact.
