MBA Course International Content Development Grants and Course
Internationalization Awards
In 2003, the
International MBA Student Association (IMBASA), with the support of Deans
Gau and Salbu, conducted a project to identify international content that should
be a part of the education of all McCombs MBAs. Subsequently, a grants
program was created in order to encourage faculty participation in the effort to
increase international content in the McCombs curriculum. The program is
administered by IMBASA and funded by CIBER.
