Nearly 500 students from more than 70 countries work and study together at the business school complex, which includes the Lemberg Academic Center and the Sachar International Center.

Brandeis International Business School

The Brandeis International Business School is global in scope, intimate in scale, and intellectually rigorous. It provides a transformational education to a widely diverse student body, preparing them to take up leadership positions in corporations and public institutions in the rapidly changing global economy. Nearly 500 students from 70 countries study at the school and learning is much enriched by the breadth of experience they bring to the classroom.

The school's three academic core disciplines – business, economics, and finance – are taught in the context of the global economy and address the complex challenges decision-makers face as they work in cross-border and cross-cultural business environments. They each embody the academic rigor that is expected of a Brandeis education and differentiates the International Business School from others that are more narrowly management-focused. An increasing emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship at the school also offers graduates tools to take advantage of new opportunities in emerging technology-driven sectors.

Finally, firmly rooted in Brandeis tradition and responding to the demand for greater responsibility in the business world, the school’s curriculum reflects the importance of community, accountability, and respect for the environment.
