Master of International Business

Established in 1990, the executive format Master of International Business program at Saint Louis University's Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business delivers an internationally focused, robust graduate business curriculum for today's dynamic global business leaders.
SLU's 21-month, 36-credit Executive Master of International Business degree (EMIB) combines business curriculum with international business challenges, solutions and cultural differences. It provides business professionals with the skills needed to navigate the complex global business environment. Students move through the program as a cohort group in a team-based environment, fostering collaboration and networking. A two-week international immersion course in Asia or Latin America provides a cultural and global business experience.

Davisson Career Resources Center, conveniently located within the School of Business, which serves as the catalyst for creating meaningful connections, developing outstanding internships and employment opportunities, and providing other valuable career management services.
