Bachelor of Science in International Business (BSIB). The BSIB provides a strong foundation for students in business and management, and the availability of a large number of elective courses that allow for customization in areas such as information systems, networking, marketing and e-business, and financial management.

A cornerstone of the international business program is the required one-year study abroad during the junior year. MSOE has an exchange agreement with the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, Lübeck, Germany, where students from Lübeck University and MSOE take classes together for one year. The classes are taught in English with a year of German included in the curriculum. Lübeck University is very similar to MSOE in emphasizing applications-oriented degrees. Immersion into European culture, and the added opportunities for travel lend themselves extremely well for the integration of cultural diversity. Courses in international business, finance, systems analysis, logistics, Integrated Systems (SAP) and German language and culture are part of the study program at Lübeck University.

Upon successful completion of the junior year and completion of the senior year at MSOE, graduates will be awarded two bachelor degrees: Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur (B.S. Business Engineer) from Lübeck University of Applied Sciences and Bachelor of Science in International Business from MSOE.
