Master of Business Administration in International Business (STEM)

Program Overview

You’ll find evidence of our global economy in what you use every day – your phone, your computer, your car, even the clothes on your back. The truth is, much of it was built in a foreign country and imported before it went up for sale here at home. An MBA in International Business will help you understand the structure and functioning of production systems within a manufacturing context, and the complexity of international business operations. You’ll learn how to navigate the complex web of international financing markets using your insight into foreign exchange, as well as decisions relating to capital budgeting.

This program will provide you with a solid context for understanding international trade, international monetary economics, the impact of government policies, and multilateral treaties and trade agreements. Marketing is an important of business, whether you’re talking local, national, or international. You’ll learn how to apply key marketing concepts to international situations, including standardization versus segmentation, marketing, design, and administration. And finally, you’ll gain familiarity with the challenges specific to international business, while looking at current trends.

At the end of the program, you’ll not only build up your business skills and come away with hands-on experience in navigating international business operations, but you’ll also develop leadership skills, be able to articulate your messages clearly, and strategically problem-solve as you face challenges in the field. You’ll create a portfolio of your work that you can present to potential employers and stand out from other candidates. What’s more, you’ll have the option to study in Austria, Sweden, and Prague for three weeks during the summer to obtain a dual degree in Global Sales and Marketing from Upper Austria University. With an MBA in International Business, you’ll be equipped to make a world of difference - wherever you are on the map.

Scholarships

When applying for admission to CUW, you will have to submit a proof of your ability to cover all expenses at least during the first year of your stay here. As an international student at CUW you will not be eligible for any type of financial assistance that is offered for the American students (scholarships, fellowships, grants). It is also extremely difficult to get a loan from any American bank. This means that it is your responsibility to find funds needed and you cannot count on any financial source in the U.S. You cannot expect to obtain this money by undertaking employment because according to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) regulations, you may not engage in any type of off-campus employment until the end of the first academic year. Any subsequent employment is strictly regulated and limited in time. In regard to this, before coming to the U.S. carefully consider if you have the necessary financial resources to cover your tuition and living expenses at least for the first year of your stay.

There are limited institutional scholarship opportunities for international undergraduate students. Possible scholarships are based on academic performance. The student must apply each semester.
