Why should Indian students opt for a Master of International Business degree course
Here is why students from India opt for a Master of International Business degree course, which helps them to survive in the industry.
The most challenging and exciting opportunities for tomorrow's business leaders, problem solvers, and entrepreneurs are at the intersection of business and global context - issues that cross the disciplinary lines of geopolitics, global development, environmental stewardship, security, and technological change.
This is how we achieve sustainability- by being nimble at the intersections. Narrow technocratic education will leave you unprepared to lead. This is why India's best and brightest ought to consider the unique educational experience of the MIB- which trains you to be nimble and to literally dance at the intersections while others seek comfort in their disciplinary corners. Comfort in corners cannot help the coming generation take on the challenges they are inheriting.
To better understand the importance of this Master of International Business (MIB) degree course, we interacted with an expert, Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business, at The Fletcher School. As this degree course will address the evolving requirements of both employers and students.
ABOUT STEM-DESIGNATED QUANTITATIVE METHODS IN THE COURSE
Tomorrow's leaders must be comfortable making decisions based on a combination of judgment, logical thinking, and the analysis of data. This course offers a curated menu of classes that our students in the quantitative methods (QM) track can choose from, giving them both the training in this combination of skills and opportunities to apply them.
These range from foundational courses in Strategic Management Science to Corporate Finance and Econometrics to advanced data science or the study of cyber security or the application of geospatial mapping.
How, according to you, will sustainable business play a pivotal role in industry 4.0?
If the pathway to solving the Sustainable Development Goals involves a cost of $3-5 trillion annually, businesses can expect to develop new market opportunities worth $12-15 trillion through their participation. This, to my mind, is at the heart of the business case for industry 4.0 and even 5.0. Business is key to sustainability and sustainability is key to business.
What are the scholarship opportunities for students opting to pursue the MIB degree course?
We will try to help every student get an affordable education. Scholarships are available to every student based on merit and need. We also offer every MIB a generous Career Acceleration Grant that they can use during their time at Fletcher to invest in creating professional opportunities for themselves, from attending conferences to field research to purchasing key datasets to attending professional gatherings anywhere in the world.
Moreover, MIB graduates from outside the United States who pursue this track will garner the opportunity to qualify for an extra two-year STEM extension of their Post-Completion OPT work permission.
Holistically incorporating the paradigms of sustainability-environment, social, and governance, the course has been meticulously framed to enable students to evolve as the change agents of tomorrow.
