Established in 1990, the executive format Master of International Business program at Saint Louis University's Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business delivers an international focus for today’s dynamic global business leaders.
This 21-month, 36-credit Executive Master of International Business degree (EMIB) combines business curriculum with international business challenges, solutions and cultural differences. It provides experienced business professionals with the skills needed to navigate the complex global business environment. Students move through the program as a cohort group in a team-based environment, fostering collaboration and networking, while a two-week international immersion course in Asia or Latin America provides a cultural and global business experience.
Graduate students in our Executive Master of International Business degree program have access to the Valerie A. Davisson Career Resources Center, conveniently located within the School of Business, which serves as the catalyst for creating meaningful connections, developing outstanding internships and employment opportunities, and providing other valuable career management services.
Data from the 2019 student survey issued by the Executive MBA Council revealed that graduates receive a 13.5 percent increase in compensation - combined, both salary and bonuses - upon completion of an executive MBA program, data from graduates of the Executive Master of International Business (EMIB) program revealed a higher increase. In the past five years, EMIB graduates have received an average increase of 25 percent in total compensation upon or within a year of graduation. Additionally, the majority of EMIB graduates were promoted to job assignments with increased international responsibilities and exposure within their companies.
Applicants are reviewed for past work, internship and leadership experiences. The admission exam requirement may be waived for candidates with five or more years of professional work experience.
