CIBER Success Stories
Globalizing HBCU Business Schools from the University of Florida
The program promotes the internationalization of business education on the campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The program features a three-year lock-step approach with a pilot project of thirteen HBCUs participating. The Globalizing HBCU Business Schools project is designed to raise awareness of 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 major component of the program is one-on-one assistance provided by the sponsoring CIBER to their respective HBCU in facilitating the implementation of international business education programs and in acquiring federal grant funds to support these efforts. The first step in this process is the development of a Strategic Internationalization Plan.
"Through this support, our Business French course has been enhanced and the new Spanish Business course developed. Our faculty has also been supported financially to participate in foreign language training at other CIBER institutions."
