The Globalizing Business Schools (GBS) project is designed to infuse understanding and the importance of international and interdisciplinary business education by equipping faculty with the pedagogical tools, knowledge, and experiences to incorporate international content into existing business courses and/or develop new courses. A integral component of the program is the one-on-one assistance provided by the sponsoring CIBERs to their respective HBCU in facilitating the implementation of international business education programs and in acquiring federal grant funds to support these efforts.

2012 CIBER Overseas Programs: Faculty Development in International Business
[More Details]The Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) - Africa program, in its 6 consecutive year, is offered annually by a consortium of CIBER universities, led and managed by the University of South Carolina CIBER. The program focus on providing participating faculty, business professionals and graduate students a unique international study tour opportunity, which will ultimately assist the U.S. in its global competetiveness via pedagogy, research, business networking and outreach, and academic-business relationship building. The objective of the FDIB-Africa program is to raise faculty, business professionals and graduate student awareness of the economic, political and cultural environments that exist in sub-Saharan African today, and, ultimately, to leverage that first-hand awareness into competence and expertise in the classroom, boardrooms, and research campus and facilities throughout the U.S. NOTE: This year, the program offers a concurrent "spousal/adult guest" program so that family, friends, and/or colleagues can room with and experience the program with their faculty, professional or student participant.
