The International Business Institute is a cross-disciplinary unit within the College of Business Administration which supports the College’s efforts in promoting International Business Education within the College. The IB Institute offers students a wide range of study areas including international business, global leadership, human resource management, strategic management, industrial organizational psychology and workforce development.

In order to ensure excellence, UMSL has created an International Business Advisory Board that consists of a select group of senior level executives/managers from local, regional, and international organizations. The purpose of the board is to provide advice, assistance, direction, and insight to UMSL Business and the International Business Institute. The Board will support the mission of UMSL Business School and the IB Institute – to create and disseminate knowledge through teaching and research, and to serve our students, our profession and the business community.
