Overview

The dual Master in International Business and Accelerated MBA degree program allows students to earn both a specialized master's degree and an MBA. Students complete the two degrees in sequence--first, the M.S. program and then the Accelerated M.B.A. program for a total of 61-64 credits. This program is designed for students with an interest in broadening their business education beyond the specialized scope of their first master's degree program. This dual degree program will provide a robust framework for acquiring both depth and breadth in business education.

Master in International Business

The Master in International Business (MIB) program seeks to develop global leaders. To this end, it offers to a select group of globally-minded students from throughout the world with rich experiential learning opportunities in Miami and other locations worldwide. The program incorporates a rigorous academic curriculum focusing on best practices by both global startups and leading multinationals in addressing their emerging opportunities and challenges. Students are exposed to South Florida’s rich multicultural business community and the hundreds of international conferences that it hosts every year.  Students may focus their professional development efforts on developing both regional competencies and functional expertise of their choice.  MIB program activities in and out of classrooms are designed to help its students bond, as well as expand their professional network with participants of other graduate business programs.

Accelerated MBA Program

The Accelerated MBA program at the University of Miami Herbert Business School allows students to fast-track their career through hands-on opportunities in the city that is shaping the future of business. The Accelerated MBA gives eligible students the unique opportunity to earn an MBA in less than a year.  Candidates with an undergraduate degree in business or a graduate degree in business or related discipline are encouraged to apply. The program begins in May and runs through December, for a duration of 7 months.
