"This is a place with a strong community spirit that values and encourages innovation and initiative. The IÉSEG environment leads to flexibility and cultural openness it is a school of life for professors and students alike." Dr Birgit Kleymann, Associate Professor of CSR & Organisation Theory
The unique dual-degree MBA/MIB between Clemson University and the IÉSEG School of Management affords graduate students the opportunity to earn complementary business degrees from two distinct and highly regarded institutions located in two of the most vibrant international business destinations in the world.
Students spend 21 months — one year in Greenville, S.C., USA, and one in Paris, France — studying with leading business faculty and graduate with two advanced degrees: a MSc in Business Administration (MBA) from a leading U.S. institution and a Master’s of International Business (MIB) from one of the top business schools in France.
All instruction is in English, although students will be encouraged to study French. Instructional opportunities will be provided while in the U.S. and France. During the summer months, dual-degree students may choose to study in China or India through established Clemson and IÉSEG programs and/or will complete an internship.
Throughout the program, students are immersed in exciting learning and business cultures, which prepares them for global careers upon graduation. Further, students are provided the opportunity to build social and business networks in both locations, enhancing their business reach and leadership potential.
Students finish the program with a unique perspective and understanding of international finance, marketing, economics and management —from both a European and American perspective – giving them the competitive edge in the global marketplace.
Located in a thriving corridor of international business, the Clemson MBA program in Greenville, S.C., offers students a living laboratory for learning. More international companies have located to this area in the past 10 years than anywhere else in the United States. Through this international business epicenter and establishments such as the Arthur M. Spiro Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership, MBA students have daily access to corporate leaders and entrepreneurs.
During the course of study in Greenville, students acquire core business knowledge and an opportunity for experiential learning unlike any other program in the United States. Leading faculty guide students to build a foundation for understanding business principles — from economics and ethics to management and marketing.
Hands-on learning opportunities complement classroom theories and give students a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Located in the largest business community in Europe — La Défense in Paris — the IÉSEG MIB program helps students develop multicultural competencies that lead to a systematic and global mindset.
The IÉSEG MIB program provides a sound understanding of world culture and international business practices. Building on the foundation provided by the Clemson program, the MIB expands the student’s capability to manage business within a variety of international contexts.
Students are offered an extensive portfolio of open electives that address topics such as international negotiation, cross-cultural management, sustainable development and global social responsibility.
To complete the curricula, there is a series of events in which students can interact with business, political and community leaders, furthering their experience.
By studying business within these two locations, students truly get the best of both worlds: two internationally respected and complementary degrees, multicultural awareness and experience, and a lifelong network of professional peers and mentors.
