Fletcher's Master of International Business (MIB) combines a grounding in foundational business skills with a contextual knowledge of the forces driving international affairs and global business. Comparable to a dual MBA-international affairs degree, the MIB allows students to develop deep competency in international business practices and a nuanced understanding of core areas that impact international affairs, including geopolitics, law, and economics.Context is a critical component of sound decision-making and breadth of knowledge is what creates great analytical thinkers and leaders. 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>The Marketing field investigates the fundamental activities, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.

In addition to careers in product and brand management, communication and public relations, and the growing area of social media, the Marketing field is pertinent for students interested in general management careers, entrepreneurial management, as well as management consulting. The Marketing field helps students acquire the tools, concepts, and grounding in the basic disciplines (e.g., psychology, economics, statistics) essential to understanding consumer and organizational behaviors and to developing successful marketing strategies.
