Description

The IBEA program aims to provide undergraduate business students with a comprehensive view of the global environment of business. It consists of a four-year Bachelor program that draws on the academic expertise of each participating partner school. Selected students study part of the program as one cohort and stay one semester at each of the four participating institutions. Each school offers customized classes and cultural courses designed for IBEA students. Besides a local and regional exposure, students gain hands-on global management experience by working closely with one corporate partner from each school. The program started in fall 2015, with the first class of around 40 students expected to graduate in spring 2019. The first three semesters are completed at each student's individual home institution. Beginning with the fourth semester, the IBEA students study for the subsequent four semesters, starting at the University of Mannheim, Business School, followed by the Darla Moore School of Business of the University of South Carolina and ESSEC's newly inaugurated campus in Singapore. The last study abroad semester is spent at the Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration in Rio de Janeiro. [6] [7]
