International Business Professions Program

The International Business Professions (IBP) program is a full-time, one year college-level professional development program.

IBP is a great program for university students and working professionals to improve their overall English ability and business or other academic or career skills (computer software, public speaking, program management, and industry specific subjects).

IBP is perfect for students not wanting a two-year associate degree or a four-year university degree.

IBP students do a practical internship (CPT) experience, which is paid or unpaid internship, in Quarter 4.
