The mission of International Business Programs (IBP) is to help students, faculty, and the business community develop and strengthen their international understanding and economic competitiveness. To this end, IBP promotes student exchanges, faculty exchanges, and a variety of international experiences in collaboration with a network of overseas partners.
The primary purpose of the various international exchange programs is to benefit students by providing them with opportunities to have global exposure and face new horizons internationally and to assist faculty members with opportunities for teaching and collaborative scholarly pursuits at overseas institutions. The faculty exchanges not only benefit the professional and personal development of faculty, but also students as instructors bring back experiences and information to the classroom. Further, IBP reaches out to the business community by providing assistance with recruitment of interns with international exposure, international business issues, and related activities.
IBP's efforts at promoting international programs are becoming increasingly important in aiding students, faculty, and the larger community toward a synergized approach for strengthening their international awareness so that they may function effectively in the dynamics of the borderless world.
