The MS in International Business can be combined with a GWSB Bachelor's degree through the 4+1 Program. This program provides the potential opportunity for students to complete both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in five years.
Students interested in the Bachelor’s/MSIB degree program must have a minimum 3.0 GPA for their undergraduate program and be in good academic standing with the university to be eligible for admission. They also need to provide all required supporting application documents.
Please note: If you are an undergraduate International Business student, you are not encouraged to apply for the MS in International Business program. We instead encourage you to consider the Master’s in Management program incorporating the Global Management graduate certificate. Please speak with your undergraduate academic advisor and the admissions office to learn about alternative programs.
The MSIB degree requires 33 credits. Beyond the nine shared credits, students pursuing the dual degree are required to complete an additional six credits of core business courses, nine credits of international business focused required courses, six credits of graduate-level IBUS electives, and three credits of general electives.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Candidates seeking financial assistance and international students requiring visas are encouraged to apply early. Only completed applications, with all required materials, will be considered for admission.
