Featured Programs

IBP is proud to offer a variety of programs to fit almost any student's interests, as well as academic and financial needs.

Short-Term Faculty Directed Programs are led by MSU faculty, traveling with a group of MSU students. Students pay MSU in-state tuition and receive MSU course credit. These programs are great for busy students, first-time travelers, and students who need specific course credit.

Featured Business Programs are short-term (2-4 weeks) programs offered through our Magellan Exchange partners. Most of these programs take place in the summer. Course credit varies by program, so students should meet with IBP to discuss their program and course credit options.
