I chose the MIB program because ...

I value the flexibility to tailor my degree path toward my future career goals and areas of interest. As a double degree student, I will earn both a Master of International Business from the Smith School of Business and a Master of Management from ESSEC Business School, two of the top-ranked programs in their respective fields. I look forward to returning to Smith to expand my cross-cultural and global management skills in an internationally-enriched classroom. Then, I look forward to embarking on my degree in France, where I will have the opportunity to tailor my degree path to a specific area of interest, such as the retail and luxury industry. Ultimately, the Smith-ESSEC double degree program perfectly blends my desire to expand my global management skills, enrich my subject-matter expertise in an area of interest, and gain global experience. It has become apparent that the MIB community and program experience is extremely special. I couldn't be more excited for my journey ahead!
