Our curriculum and programs, faculty, and student body have all been chosen to give you a vibrant, global perspective of successful business management that is inspirational and innovative, entrepreneurial and responsible. Further, graduates leave IBS with an appreciation of the critical role that ethical business practices and community engagement play in society.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

At Brandeis International Business School (IBS), we prepare our students to thrive in the rapidly changing global economy. The selection of our faculty, the design of our curriculum and programs, and the composition of our student body all contribute to an educational experience which is both inspirational and transformative. Our graduates leave us able to address the complex challenges faced in corporations and policy-making institutions across borders and cultures.

Our inclusive campus embraces the diverse cultures represented by the 70 home countries of our students. They enrich the experiences both in and outside our classrooms. Our faculty includes some of the world’s leading academics and practitioners. They are highly respected experts in global finance and economics, many of whom consult regularly with corporations and governments around the world. They provide a rigorous and relevant education across our four degree programs. The teaching of each of the school’s disciplines — business, economics, and finance — embodies the academic excellence for which Brandeis University is well known.

At every point in the learning process, meaningful connections are made with current real-world issues in the global economy. Through our vibrant centers and institutes, executives from around the globe visit campus to share their personal perspectives on innovation, entrepreneurship, global finance, and leadership. We have established partnerships with prestigious universities overseas that allow our students to engage with the cultures, practices, and networks of other countries. And, with our heritage of social justice shared with Brandeis, IBS is attuned to the increasing demand for responsibility, accountability, and respect for the communities in which businesses operate.

I invite you to explore the full offerings of the school. I hope you discover that IBS matches your educational and career aspirations. I believe we provide our graduates with the capabilities and preparation necessary for success in the future global marketplace.

Sincerely,

Bruce R. Magid, PhD, Dean Martin and Ahuva Gross Chair in Financial Markets and Institutions

Small world.

Huge opportunity.

Globalization permeates all aspects of business, economics and finance. Creating new markets. New business processes. New policies. New environmental priorities. New opportunities. New challenges.

Helping students develop the skills to thrive in this dynamic, global marketplace is our mission at the Brandeis International Business School (IBS).

At IBS, we combine our strength in global finance and economics scholarship and research with exciting international exchanges. The result is a unique business education experience: international, entrepreneurial, intellectually rigorous, and designed for the global economy.

Focus on global business, finance and economics At the heart of the IBS education is our specialized focus on international finance and economics.

The curriculum is challenging and sophisticated, emphasizing international capital markets, business strategy, and economic policy.

The IBS faculty includes leading experts in global finance and economics, many of whom consult with corporations and governments.

network of academic exchanges with 19 of the world’s leading universities of business and economics. Many students supplement this experience with international internships. More than one-third of IBS graduates work overseas, aided by a worldwide network of Brandeis alumni.

IBS is also an enthusiastic supporter of the Fulbright Academic Exchange Program sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. For Fall 2010, 24 Fulbright scholars from 20 countries worldwide will study in the MBA and MAief programs.

Environment of excellence IBS is selective, admitting just 250 students a year, ensuring an intimate, personal educational experience. Our degree programs are academically rigorous and intellectually challenging. The IBS faculty includes world-renowned authorities with diverse research interests. IBS degree programs have been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, a respected, global accrediting body for business schools.

The Princeton Review named IBS among the 301 best business schools in United States.

The Economist ranked IBS among the top 100 business schools worldwide.

International and inclusive IBS is truly international, with students from more than 70 countries and faculty from around the world.

Students hear a multitude of languages and work in project teams with peers from every continent.

Many students spend at least one semester living and studying outside the United States, through our

“The diverse backgrounds and perspectives of the students and faculty at IBS create an atmosphere that is both vibrant and inclusive.

This has really enriched my experience.�

Matthias Wurmboeck Austria, MBA, 2011 2

Real world.

Real experience.

At IBS, learning is not limited to theoretical concepts.

Keeping education connected to the real world of business and policy is an integral part of the IBS experience.

The Case Study Method, which forms the basis for many IBS courses, brings reality into the classroom.

Students wrestle with important issues that are shaping economies, industries, and governments around the world. This approach challenges students to think creatively about complex problems. In the process, students develop the skills necessary to succeed in the global business environment.

Turning with the world The world of business is continually evolving — and so is IBS. Each year, approximately 15% of the IBS curriculum changes to keep pace with new realities.

New courses focus on global developments, often as they unfold, to keep learning timely and relevant.

For example, Investing in Energy considers factors affecting the supply, demand, and price of energy in global markets. It examines the volatility, risk and uncertainty of energy markets over the past forty years, and the changing role of key players in the market.

The course Managing the Triple Bottom Line explores how companies are modifying their business strategies to leverage new opportunities in the social and environmental arenas to add new dimensions to the traditional bottom line based on financial success.

Beyond the classroom At IBS, learning extends beyond the classroom.

Students have a range of opportunities for rich learning experiences — both on-campus and around the world.

For example: + International real estate allows students to look at the analysis, financing, and management of income-producing real property in various overseas markets. Case discussion allows students to explore how developers and investors identify projects, determine value, and design marketing strategies. + World financial centers is an intensive, weeklong course held in a leading global financial hub, exploring its markets, institutions, and current economic and political conditions. Recent programs have visited London, Prague, Istanbul, Warsaw, Santiago, and Madrid. + Distinguished speakers from the private and public sectors visit IBS frequently to explore vital areas of global business and economics. In the past year we brought more than 70 executives and thought leaders to campus to share their perspectives in our speaker forums. + Centers and institutes Our four centers and institutes play an important role in enriching the educational experience at IBS, extending opportunities beyond the classroom to help students prepare for leadership roles in the global economy. Their activities include hosting speakers and organizing events that enable students to network with prominent global entrepreneurs and business leaders.

We have designed new courses addressing issues students will face in their professional lives including Managing Global Human Capital, which offers students a framework for understanding their future roles and responsibilities in managing human cap-ital in multinational firms. Corporate Governance examines how individual goals and external pressures influence individuals, and how their decisions impact a corporation’s failure or success.

The Global Green MBA Launched in 2008, our innovative MBA in Socially Responsible Business builds on our strength in international business and economics, while preparing students to integrate social, environmental, and financial goals. The program includes a project course that enables students to pursue a consulting or field project on a topic of their choice. www.brandeis.edu/global 3

Cultural diversity.

Global perspective.

The international character of IBS shapes every facet of student life. The student body represents more than 70 nations. More than one-third of IBS graduates choose to live and work outside the United States. This cultural diversity generates a dynamic interchange that is a vital feature of the Brandeis experience.

Internationally Renowned Faculty IBS faculty members include respected scholars with interests that span the globe. Most have trained and worked internationally, and many act as advisors to a variety of international organizations, from the World Bank and the United Nations to international companies and governments throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

International Experience IBS’s MAief and MBA programs are among the very few in the world to require students to have international experience by the time they graduate.

While some students already have such experience when they enter Brandeis, those who do not can acquire it at Brandeis through a summer internship abroad or a semester of study at one of our partner universities, which are listed below.

(each is often the best in its country) and are located in a wide range of interesting cities and countries.

Study abroad enables students to: + Take a wide range of courses in economics, finance, and business in addition to those offered at Brandeis + Study and absorb new cultural and business perspectives + Make connections and friends around the world + Improve foreign language skills + Participate in an internship in a global company Faculty and staff help each student to explore options and to find the best possible fit. Due to limits in our exchange agreements, we can’t guarantee every student his or her first choice in foreign schools, but in practice most student preferences are accommodated. Students typically go abroad during the fall semester of their second year.

A Worldwide Alumni Network IBS alumni offer students support and hospitality around the world, as do the many international students who come to Brandeis through exchange partnerships. Overseas graduates consult with students in person and by email, offering career advice, helping to identify international opportunities and hosting students overseas.

Although study abroad is only one of the ways to meet the international experience requirement, many students see it as a uniquely valuable part of their IBS degree. Even students who already have international experience often take advantage of this opportunity. Our partners are among the best schools of business and economics in the world

Vibrant campus.

World-class location.

IBS offers students an exceptional lifestyle combination: a stimulating campus community located just 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the historic city of Boston.

Set on more than 200 rolling acres in the Boston suburb of Waltham, the Brandeis University campus has a state-of-the-art library, one of the largest multipurpose indoor athletic facilities in the Northeast, and a wide range of multicultural and international student clubs, activities, and services.

Brandeis is located in the heart of the Route 128 corridor, one of the country’s major concentrations of technology and enterprise. Affordable residential neighborhoods are within walking distance. Waltham’s central business district has outstanding restaurants offering cuisine from every corner of the world.

Urban Excitement Blending history with modern excitement, Boston is one of America’s greatest cities and one of the world’s leading centers of higher education, home to eight major universities and more than 250,000 students. As a major center of finance, technology, and consulting, Boston offers career opportunities after graduation. Public transportation easily links Brandeis to Cambridge and Boston.

Student Services The Office of Student Services helps ensure that your personal, social, and academic experience at IBS meets your expectations. The office helps with a variety of student needs — whether they involve academic advising, housing, health insurance, transportation, or negotiating our university systems.

Once accepted, you can connect to us online through “IBS Talk” where you can communicate with IBS peers from around the world. Access to second-year students can be invaluable when seeking answers to practical questions.

To ease your transition to IBS, the Orientation Program offers opportunities to socialize with your peers and participate in academic planning with faculty and administration. Informative presentations highlight career services, visa workshops, internship options, advising, study abroad panels, and other important subjects.

We have also established a new Leadership Fellow Program to empower second year MAief and MBA students with leadership and peer mentoring skills to assist first year students with their academic, cultural, and social adjustment to IBS.

Clubs and Organizations IBS offers many opportunities to broaden your social and leadership experience through a range of clubs and organizations, including the following:

IBS Student Association IBS student government, serving as a channel of communication between students and IBS faculty and administration.

Net Impact Club Net Impact enables members to use business for social good in their graduate education, careers, and communities.

The Brandeis Football Club Friendly competition for male and female students of all soccer skill levels.

International Business Women (IBW) A forum for IBS women to develop their leadership and career potential, while expanding their personal networks.

In addition, Brandeis University offers more than 190 student-run clubs, sports, and organizations, allowing students to form friendships that last for years to come.

Brandeis Graduate Student Association (GSA) The graduate student government body at Brandeis University.

Emerging Markets Investment Club A forum for discussing current financial markets and conducting active global investments.

National Society of Hispanic MBAs First Hispanic student club to be organized at a Business school in Boston. The club’s mission is to foster Hispanic leadership through graduate management education and professional development in order to improve society.

Intellectual Capital The IBS faculty represents an impressive stock of intellectual capital. Their wide-ranging expertise — from global financial markets to business alliances and trade policy — is complemented by research at the leading edge of international business, finance, and economics. The IBS faculty also includes adjunct professors with leadership roles in major business and financial organizations.

CATHERINE L. MANN joined the faculty of IBS after more than 20 years working in policy institutions and think tanks in Washington DC, including the Institute for International Economics, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the President’s Council of Economic Advisers at the White House, and the World Bank.

Her current research focuses on two related topics: information technology and services trade in global markets, and the US trade deficit and the dollar.

Alliance strategy and management is the specialty of BENJAMIN GOMES-CASSERES, having researched the topic for 20 years, taught it to MBAs and executives, and consulted with major companies in the US and abroad. His most recent co-authored book, Mastering Alliance Strategy (Jossey Bass, 2003), is a comprehensive guide to the field. His earlier book, The Alliance Revolution (Harvard University Press, 1996), pioneered the analysis of alliance constellations, common today in many industries. His research has been featured in the Financial Times, and cited in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and in industry and academic journals.

PETER PETRI studies Asia’s burgeoning trade, investment and financial links-with itself and with the world economy. He has held visiting professorships in China and Japan, advised governments and international institutions throughout the region, including the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank and the United Nations. He currently works with Asia’s new institutions of economic cooperation. He was the principal consultant for ADB’s 2008 Emerging Asian Regionalism flagship study, Petri advises the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and is an expert for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s (APEC) “peer reviews” of national economic policies.

Trading, the internal architecture of financial markets, and minute-to-minute price movements are the focus of CAROL OSLER’S work. Using rigorous empirical analysis — much of it conducted at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — she has uncovered fascinating regularities: orders tend to be placed more frequently at whole numbers, tens and fives, rather than in between. At times her work challenges academic wisdom and confirms the stories of traders; for example, she finds evidence for “support levels”— at certain points, prices tend to bounce up or fall steeply, but seldom remain put.

Productivity in the changing international environment is the subject of much of GARY JEFFERSON’S research, which focuses on China. Jefferson edits several scholarly journals related to the development of China, and is researching the relationship between changes in governance and R&D capacity. Grants from the Luce Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the World Bank have supported his work. Together with colleagues in the U.S. and China, he conducts a quadrennial survey of Chinese industrial productivity.

Organizational behavior is the focus of ANDY MOLINSKY’S creative research program, which he began at Harvard, continued at the University of Southern California, and now conducts at Brandeis.

How do people in multicultural organizations interpret each other’s attitudes, behaviors, and nonverbal cues? How do people —doctors, police officers, managers — perform “necessary evils,” the difficult, but necessary, tasks that cause pain to others? His work is innovative in method as well as content. Graduate students are often involved in his projects, as both analysts and subjects.

Management of innovation and technology and entrepreneurship are at the heart of PREETA BANERJEE’S research and teaching.

Dr. Banerjee is a recent recipient of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Technology Program Award for her work on the role of human capital in technology development teams. From consulting with Silicon Valley high-tech new ventures, to her doctoral work at Wharton, to her faculty positions at University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign to now Brandeis, she has explored how individuals, technology, the firm, and the industry evolve in the life sciences and clean tech industries.

Scholarships and Tuition IBS is committed to attracting highly qualified students from around the world.

We demonstrate that commitment by offering financial aid that is generous compared to other business schools. In line with its global mission, IBS is proud to award fellowships and loans to international as well as U.S. students.

Merit-Based Scholarships IBS offers merit-based fellowships to provide substantial (and, in exceptional cases, full) support for the best-qualified candidates. About one-third of the students in each incoming class receive merit-based aid. All admitted full-time students are considered for merit-based fellowships.

These include: + ALPFA Fellowships: recognizes members of The Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting. + American Leadership Awards: recognizes outstanding U.S. citizens and permanent residents. + Dean’s Prize Fellowships: offers up to full-tuition awards to students of exceptional merit. + Global Leadership Fellowships: recognizes promising international candidates. + NBMBAA Fellowships: recognizes members of The National Black MBA Association. + NSHMBA Fellowships: recognizes members of The National Society of Hispanic MBAs. + The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows institutions of higher learning (degree granting institutions) in the

United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. To determine eligibility, students must provide IBS Admissions Office with a Certificate of Eligibility and the amount awarded will be in accordance with the agreement with the VA.

Need-Based Fellowships IBS provides need-based financial support to a significant number of students. The need-based financial aid program considers a combination of financial need and qualifications for success in the student’s professional fields of interest. The amount of need-based fellowships provided in any given year is subject to the availability of funds.

Fellowships include: + Peter Petri Global Fellowships are awarded each year to three students from three different continents.

U.S. citizens and permanent residents may be eligible for low-cost federal loans.

To be considered for federal need-based financial aid programs, U.S. residents must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available through the Office of Admissions or online at: www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Despite our generous aid programs, students must have financial resources of their own. All master’s students must finance their living expenses, and nearly all pay a significant part of tuition.

Assistantships A limited number of research and teaching assistantships are available for qualified students. Applications for these positions are accepted after admission, and compensation is at a rate of $10.50 per hour. Assistantships for PhD candidates include tuition and living expenses.

Tuition

+ Isador Lubin Fellowship

Tuition for full-time MAief, MBA, MSF, and PhD students for the 2010-2011 academic year is $38,994.00. The same tuition applies to the semester abroad.

Tuition for part-time MSF students is $3,750 per course.

+ Paul Rosengard ’80/YMA Fellowship

Living Expenses

+ Isidore Scharfman Fellowship

Ten-month living expenses for one person (including housing, food, and personal expenses) range from $12,000 to $14,000.

+ Steven Bunson ’82 Fellowship + Milton Feld Fellowship + Fruitt Family Fellowship

+ Jeffrey Steiner Fellowship + Ambasador Milton Wolf Global Fellowship To be considered for need-based awards, students must complete the Statement of Financial Resources available through the Office of Admissions.

We encourage students to explore opportunities for financial aid from their employers or their home government and from other public or private sources. In past years, international students have received support from the Fulbright, Muskie, Ron Brown, World Bank, Ford, Mandela, Soros, and other foundation and scholarship foundation programs.

IBS Centers and Institutes Each year Brandeis IBS’ centers and institutes attract some of the world’s most prominent business and finance leaders to the School and provide students the chance to engage with them directly. In 2009–2010, the Asper Center for Global Entrepreneurship hosted Shai Agassi and Michael Granoff, the CEO and initial investor in Better Place, a global electric vehicle company. The Perlmutter Institute for Global Business Leadership brought to Brandeis Henrique Meirelles, Governor of the Central Bank of Brazil and architect of its economic renaissance. And the Rosenberg Institute of Global Finance convened a panel of CEOs and investors to discuss clean energy financing.

Our centers and institutes support an extensive array of courses, which often enable our students to interact with CEOs and other business leaders. These courses allow students to learn first-hand about topics of global significance from pioneers in their fields. Fellowships and research stipends sponsored by the centers and institutes also help support IBS students as they advance their studies.

What our centers and institutes focus on: Asper Center for Global Entrepreneurship The Asper Center for Global Entrepreneurship serves as Brandeis’ platform to probe and understand the key trends affecting entrepreneurship across cultures and borders. The Center was established in 2006 by Leonard J. Asper ’86. www.brandeis.edu/global/asper

Perlmutter Institute for Global Business Leadership The Perlmutter Institute for Global Business Leadership, established in 2008 by Brandeis Trustee Louis ’56 and Barbara Perlmutter, prepares students for leadership positions in the global corporation of the future.

It focuses on political economy, public/private partnerships, and practical skills as key elements in building successful global careers. www.brandeis.edu/global/perlmutter

Rosenberg Institute of Global Finance The Rosenberg Institute of Global Finance seeks to analyze and anticipate major trends in global financial markets, institutions, and regulations, and to develop the information and ideas required to solve emerging problems. The Institute, founded in 2002, is named for Barbara C. Rosenberg ’54 and Richard M. Rosenberg. www.brandeis.edu/global/rosenberg

You can find each of these centers on Facebook.

Regional research centers round out Brandeis IBS’ centers and institutes. The Asia Pacific Center for Economics and Business researches trends in business throughout Asia. Other initiatives currently underway spotlight Latin America, Israel, and other dynamic, entrepreneurial economies. They further expand IBS students’ access to global business leaders and their global knowledge and engagement.

TAKE ON THE WORLD WITH CONFIDENCE

Mirtha Arguello Nicaragua, MBA, 2007 State Street Bank & Trust Co

Why did you decide to study at IBS and what was the most surprising thing you found when you got there? The friendliness and openness of the people. The faculty and staff really committed themselves to making my grad school experience the best.

If you could do anything to change the world with your IBS degree what would you do? I would invest more in Latin America, which is where I come from. There is so much potential in the region and great business opportunities unexplored.

What is your favorite memory of IBS? My long hours studying and sharing ideas and perspectives with my classmates and professors.

It has been an incredible, enriching, and fun experience.
