History

Brandeis University -the parent institution of Brandeis IBS- was founded in 1948.

Brandeis IBS was first established as the Graduate School of International Economics and Finance, reflecting increased student enrollment in economics and finance courses, and the creation of the Ph.D. in International Economics and Finance in 1994. In 1998, the MBA and Master of Science in Finance (MSF) programs were added, broadening the scope of the school’s teaching and research.

The school was renamed the Brandeis International Business School in 2003 to reflect this broader expertise and the increasing focus on international and global business. In 2010, Brandeis University introduced a business major, through which undergraduates are able to take graduate classes in management and international finance at Brandeis IBS.

Academics

The school's teaching addresses three core areas: management, finance and economic policy. Each is taught within the context of the global economy and against the background of international interdependence. All students are required to have or acquire international experience and knowledge of a language other than English. Brandeis IBS has exchange relationships with 20 universities and schools of business in Europe, Asia, and South America and encourages students to spend at least one semester studying abroad
