The International Business Professions (IBP) program is a full-time, 12-months, cohort-based program. Cohorts start in Fall and Spring. Students create their own study and career plans by choosing from a wide range of college-level subjects and practical English support courses. This prepares them for an internship in their field of interest.
Please note: IBP is a non-degree granting cohort-based program that requires a minimum enrollment. For questions about upcoming cohorts, please email ie@bellevuecollege.edu.
