International Business

[GatorGuy78]

<p>I’m interested in pursuing the Master of Arts in International Business at UF.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if an undergraduate business degree is required for admission to MAIB or will a normal bachelors degree be acceptable? I’m planning on majoring in Economics through CLAS and possibly taking a language.</p>

<p>Is MAIB a good and respected program?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

Bachelor’s degree in a business major or minor

</p>

<p>a CLAS econ degree would qualify.</p>

<p>i’m not sure about the placement for this program, but i’ve heard good things about it. its not a very specialized degree, but it had its purposes.</p>

Starting salaries follow the current economic trends, and also vary greatly depending on the industry. The average salary package for the Class of 2008 was $51,000. Starting packages (salary + bonus) will vary between industries, current state of the economy and individual student background. A typical MAIB student without professional work experience should expect to start in the range of $38,000- 62,000. We have seen that the majority of our students get a significant raise or promotion within the first two years at a company/ organization. Or, once they have acquired a few years of professional experience, students move on to another job at a much higher salary. In 2008, corporate financial training programs and sales related positions within the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries were offering the highest starting packages. U.S. government jobs are becoming more available and are climbing in starting salary as well since a large part of that work force will retire in the next 10 years.

<p>I’m not sure the clas econ would qualify. when I was interested in it, I asked one of my friends who plans on doing it , and he seemed to be under the impression that just the business econ counts as a business degree, not the clas econ.
Why don’t you just do the business econ anyway? then you can do the combined degree program and start your master’s during senior year.</p>
