Tufts University

The Fletcher School's approach to business education is distinct from traditional MBA programs. As a graduate school of international affairs, we ensure that students understand not only how businesses operate internationally, but the entire context in which they operate. Our specialty is contextual intelligence. Our ability to deliver critical business skills, a deep knowledge of the international environment, and specialized regional expertise sets us apart. Fletcher’s two-year Master of International Business (MIB) is a unique hybrid international business - international affairs degree.

Topics such as security risks, geopolitics, emerging markets, corporate governance, and energy and environmental policy give students an understanding of the entire context in which international companies must operate. While the core classes cover standard MBA subjects, our exclusive focus on the international business environment and Fletcher’s deep expertise in international affairs distinguish the MIB from generalist business programs. As a part of their degree, students deepen their knowledge through two areas of focus, one in business, and the other in international affairs. By combining two unique fields, students may cultivate expertise that gives them an edge in the marketplace.
