Intregrated Business Curriculum

The University of Idaho College of Business and Economics award-winning Integrated Business Curriculum (IBC) is one of the few of its kind in the nation. This distinctive program revolutionizes the traditional model of teaching business and emphasizes a more collaborative approach that mirrors the way companies do business.  

Solve Real Business Problems:

In your junior year, instead of taking stand-alone classes, you will be part of a small integrated team of students from all business majors. You and your “coworkers” will meld your various areas of expertise, as you would in a real business setting, to address issues facing top companies such as Boeing, Micron, Starbucks, Columbia Sportswear or Coldwater Creek.

 

The Benefits:

This intensive yearlong experience strengthens your teamwork and decision-making skills, and gives you cross-functional knowledge in business systems, product and process planning, managing firm resources and business operating decisions.

IBC gives you the opportunity to:

• Practice real-world presentations and projects
• Interact with professionals as part of Executive-for-a-Day
• Receive close faculty mentorship
• Develop a greater retention and understanding of material
• Build a professional network of fellow students and faculty
• Enter the workforce with a sustainable competitive edge
• Gain a broader understanding of the business enterprise
