ATLANTA —The Master of International Business (MIB) offered by Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business is 5th in the U.S. according to a ranking of the nation’s 20 top programs by Best Value Schools. The organization bases its assessment on affordability and enrollment.
Robinson’s 11-month MIB is the only program of its kind in Georgia. Students hone their knowledge of and skills for managing international business endeavors, and can specialize in global management consultancy, international entrepreneurship and innovation, or global supply chain and logistics.
Coursework and experiential activities emphasize sustainability and responsible decision-making, with site visits to companies and operations that align with their academic tracks. Recent site visits have included:
- Traveling to Chattanooga, Tenn., to visit Kordsa, a global manufacturer of tire and construction reinforcement products, and composite technologies, and to Pooler, Ga., to visit Mitsubishi Power, a global manufacturer of gas and steam turbines
- Touring Curiosity Lab, a 5G-enabled intelligent mobility and smart city living laboratory technology park and entrepreneurial support organization in Peachtree Corners, Ga.
- Observing behind-the-scenes operations at the Port of Savannah, and the Braselton, Ga. distribution center of Carter’s children’s apparel.
The program also includes a field study with executives who are considering entering the global marketplace or expanding their international footprint, a country risk assessment to quantify emerging market opportunities, collaboration with teammates in other countries, and/or developing business analytics skills.
“Robinson’s MIB program connects current knowledge with business practice through a forward-looking curriculum delivered by master teachers, along with a suite of signature activities to allow students to experience application of the knowledge in practice by doing, listening, and observing,” said program director Cuneyt Evirgen.
