Brandeis International Business School (IBS) is part of Brandeis University, located in Waltham, Massachusetts. Brandeis IBS offers graduate degree programs in business, finance and economics, with over 3,000 alumni in over 100 countries. Academics at Brandeis IBS focus on themes of international business and global economics, supplemented by over 70 faculty members, all of whom have research or corporate experience. Bruce R. Magid served as dean of the school from 2007 - 2016. Founding dean Peter Petri currently serves as the interim dean of the school.
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 (GSIEF), reflecting increased student enrollment in economics and finance courses, and the creation of the PhD 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 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 and minor, through which undergraduates are able to take graduate classes in management and international finance at Brandeis IBS. In 2017, the school introduced an Accelerated Master’s program in economics and finance.
The school focuses on teaching rigorous business, finance and economics, and connecting students to real-world examples and industry practices to immerse them in the fields they wish to work in after graduation. Courses are taught by faculty who bring a blend of academic rigor and practitioner expertise, given students a wide palette of experience to learn from as they explore careers across companies, cultures and countries.
