A dusty road in Sub-Saharan Africa. A piazza in Italy. A rickshaw-strewn street in Shanghai. A tree-lined boulevard in Buenos Aires.
The Robinson College of Business (RCB) has a growing presence in these places and more. Sometimes our international outreach carves new roads in locations where there has been little previous interactions with American business models, for example in the Caucuses. In other regions, our programs in study abroad, executive education, joint MBAs and students overlap and spiral through each other like busy interchanges on an interstate, like our many-layered opportunities in Argentina.
Academic programs are the cornerstone of international business training at the RCB, and the Master of International Business (MIB) is the flagship degree. Established in 1997, the MIB reaches an educational pinnacle with an international internship that bridges classroom experience with the real world.
RCB faculty network with colleagues throughout the world, backed by a portfolio of internationally respected research in the fields of e-commerce, entrepreneurship, marketing and others. They lecture regularly from the southern tip of the world to the remote interior of Africa.
Study abroad opportunities for RCB students extend from China to Europe to South America to Africa. Students learn about business practices in other cultures and in the process come to know more about themselves. Partnerships with universities in Toulouse and Cairo foster the internationalization of RCB faculty and grant joint degrees.
The RCB also plays host in Atlanta to executives from around the world through the Expanding Horizons program, which tailors executive education programs to international groups. Whether coming or going, hosting or traveling, making inroads in developing countries or building bridges and complex networks in emerging economies, RCB is putting its imprint on the world.
