As a full-time program, it emphasizes strong quantitative research methods and international business core sequences. The curriculum also offers opportunities for secondary research specializations. Within the context of these specializations, students are provided a strong base in theoretical knowledge, state of the art methodological skills, and an extensive library of databases. Course-work is divided between advanced methods, substantive international business core, and research specialization sequences. Nine countries are currently represented among the student body. A new cohort began in the fall 2014. One of only approximately 25 such programs worldwide accredited by AACSB International, the program offers a cohort-drive, two year coursework sequence, followed by a set of quantitative and research specialization comprehensive exams. Students teach in their field of interest while in the program, and are placed in academic positions fully qualified to teach as specified under Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) faculty qualification provision.
