IMB - International Maritime Business

Program Description
The International Maritime Business (IMB) program prepares students to be business professionals serving the global marketplace and the complex supply chains that enable the global economy. Students acquire wide-ranging business skills - such as accounting, economics, finance, and negotiations - and maritime industry knowledge -such as admiralty law, port terminal operations, and shipping. These unique skills provide IMB majors with an edge in the increasingly global marketplace. With 90% of goods traveling by ship at some point in the journey from origin to destination, the industry is in need of professionals with this specific focus. In the spirit of the Academy's Learn-Do-Learn philosophy, in addition to traditional academic coursework, all students will complete one IMB experiential learning program (international, domestic, maritime, or online) and two cooperative experiences. Sea Term I (ST-0999) and experiential learning programs from other majors are not considered equivalent to the IMB experiential learning program, but are counted as electives. Accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education(IACBE), the IMB program combines the breadth of high-quality business education with a focus on the maritime sector.
