Internships in Belgium, Brazil,
Colombia, France, Germany,
Haiti, and the United States are
part of the Master in International
Business Studies at
the College of Business Administration.
The MIBS program, started in
1974, is a two-year study in
managerial careers in
multinational business.
The curriculum of the
program includes intensive

students. In 1978 speakers will
include Mr. James A. Thwaits,
president of International
Operations, 3M Company;
William R. Gurganus, president
of Procter and Gamble; Douglas
A. Graham J. Tylee Wilson,
Chief Executive Officer of R. J.
Reynolds Tobacco, International.
Perhaps the most integral part
of the program is the internship.
Allen B. Dickerman, MIBS
director, said, "Currently we
have 28 students serving their
internships. Nineteen Americans
are overseas and nine foreign
students are in the U.S. We have

But employment procedures
are changing, "Employel's are

overseas experience and foreign

can find these
qualifications in our graduates."
An example of the ef
fectiveness of the program,
Dickerman said, is "out of 8,000
applicants for 50 to 75 international
