An MS in International Business (MSIB) from the University of Colorado Denver opens opportunities for dynamic careers in global business. MSIB students gain cutting-edge knowledge and skills to help them conduct business across borders.

Our innovative MSIB curriculum combines solid grounding in business foundations and knowledge of international business environments.

Our degree emphasizes action learning such as live case studies, international consulting projects and internships, and study-abroad trips.

The University of Colorado Denver is the only Colorado university, and one of just 17 universities nationwide, granted the U.S. Department of Education’s prestigious designation as a Center for International Business Education Research (CIBER), an honor earned in large part through the excellence of the international business program.
