| The IMBU Hello/Goodbye gathering is truly a great opportunity to relax and mingle and be thankful for the blessings we enjoy at MMA. With invested cadets and faculty like this, it is no wonder students are flocking to study International Maritime Business! |
The International Maritime Business (IMB) major prepares graduates to enter the maritime shipping and transportation industry as a business professional. The program includes elements of international business, logistics, and transportation. The cadets take courses in vessel familiarization, business computations, admiralty law, port operations, economics, finance, accounting, business of shipping, global logistics, chartering and brokerage, marine insurance, international business, negotiations and organization management. The practical component of the curriculum includes one sea term and two internships. The IMB program requires the students to complete the two co-ops typically during their junior and senior years. A summer session co-op, mid June thru August, and a winter session co-op, late December thru February, typically run for 6-8 weeks. The IMB co-op program provides the students with excellent opportunities to gather practical experience in their chosen field in keeping with the 'learn-do-learn' philosophy of the institution and develop future employment prospects.
