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 and operations, from both a multinational corporation and entrepreneurial perspective.

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