Boise State University's International Business Program Invited to Join National Consortium

Boise State University’s International Business program has been invited to join the Consortium of Undergraduate International Business Education (CUIBE).

CUIBE is a group of nationally ranked international business programs that aims to promote, enhance, and innovate the way international business is taught. Boise State is one of about 20 member schools, joining the likes of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, George Washington University, Florida International, University of Oklahoma, Temple University, Northeastern University and San Diego State University.

“Having our International Business program be selected to join this group of premier universities is a high compliment for our faculty and for the International Business program,” said Pat Shannon, longtime faculty member and newly named dean of Boise State’s College of Business and Economics who will officially begin his duties July 1. “It is further evidence of the quality and cutting-edge business and economics programs that we are providing.”

Through research, publications and seminars, the consortium disseminates knowledge to members and the broader academic community. Membership was granted to Boise State following an intensive study and site visit by a CUIBE evaluation team.

“Membership brings recognition that Boise State’s International Business program is a nationally ranked program,” said Nancy Napier, a professor of international business and director for the Centre for Creativity and Innovation at Boise State. “This is a real honor for the College of Business and Economics and Boise State.”

More information about the consortium is available at www.cuibe.net/main.
