Management and Business Track
Your M.B.A. Alternative

Business Track (MBT) gives you the opportunity to team rigorous academic study and intensive practical training with on-the-job work experience, demonstrating your commitment to acquiring real-world skills and enriching your understanding of theory and practice.

Your one-year MBT begins with one of the following core programs:

- Business Administration,

- International Business,

- Project Management.

Following the successful completion of your first IDP, you begin your concentration program in Finance, International Business, Marketing, or Project Management. The second IDP intensifies your understanding and sharpens your skills in a specialized competency. Once you complete both IDPs, you apply your in-depth training to an Internship. Successful completion of these three 15-week terms makes you eligible to apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT).

To be accepted into your concentration program or into the Internship Program, you must maintain an overall GPA (grade point average) or 2.5 or higher in the previous program. In addition, you must receive no grade lower than a C in any one of your International Diploma Program courses.

Timeline:

Optional Practical Training (OPT) offers F-1 students the opportunity to gain paid work experience in their fields of study in the United States. A student who has successfully completed a full academic year and who meets other eligibility requirements may be allowed to accept paid employment for up to one year. While OPT participation has regulations and restrictions, OPT can be a great way to gain valuable work experience while learning first hand about the U.S. style of business.
