We have helped students just like you transform their lives. With hands-on learning, globally focused courses and expert faculty, you have the chance to turn your career aspirations into reality.
Your journey from student to professional begins here, where building your resume and network are key components of your education.
In the classroom, you’ll get hands-on experience with consulting projects, where you’ll solve real-life challenges and present to business executives. You’ll examine case studies from real companies. You may even invent a new product or start your own business.
What is matter is our global focus. Whichever program you choose, you’ll learn how to adapt to unique economic, cultural, political, and legal environments and discover how business practices differ among nations. You can even extend your global education beyond the classroom with a Global Travel Seminar, international internship, and study abroad experience.
Your faculty members care about your intellectual and professional journey. Working in every facet of business, they know the qualities that employers look for. They are committed to helping you develop the marketable skills and networks you need to embark on or advance in your career.
My goal for you, as a student in the IHED Business School, is that you gain a well-rounded education so you can become an innovative thinker who is able to take on today’s global business challenges with confidence. I take pride in knowing that we are part of that process, and I hope that your commitment to learning continues throughout your life.
