CI is known for its interdisciplinary approach to learning and our business program is no exception. You'll learn to think critically, collaborate, and communicate. Your education will be built on a strong foundation of principles, from accounting to management to marketing. Because we take an interdisciplinary approach, you'll be required to take courses outside the traditional business curriculum, such as biology, chemistry, education, English, fine arts, history, and performing arts. Through your capstone course, you'll combine all you've learned through a Global Strategy Simulation exercise.

Your future

Our graduates are prepared to work for public and private businesses and organizations in a variety of roles, as well as to go on to graduate and professional schools.

Applicants with a Bachelor's degree in a field other than Business Administration are required to complete the Foundations of Business Courses (prerequisites). Evaluation of previous course work for waiver of these courses occurs upon admission to the program. Applicants must also demonstrate competence in mathematics and computer literacy. The GMAT exam is required for all applicants.
