The Brandeis International Business School (IBS) is a pioneering school dedicated to preparing students for the careers of the global economy in international business, economics, and finance. We teach state-of-the-art theory, immerse students in international experiences, and connect them to best practice in business and policy. IBS is a unique school for the following reasons:

International to the Core
We are truly focused on the global economy. From a unique introductory course on the global economic environment to a wide range of advanced electives, the IBS experience is thoroughly international. More than half of our students come from Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and international experiences are built into our programs in partnership with major foreign schools and companies.
