DEANS MESSAGE: Dr. Robert C. Camp IUP

The global executive of today faces a complex array of challenges. Only a few years ago, most of the competition was up the street or around the corner. Today, the competition may be a multinational corporation or a government-sponsored conglomerate with headquarters and production facilities on the far side of the world. Today, a tool kit of analytical skills is not enough preparation for the global executive. To be successful, you must have a multi-cultural perspective and finelyhoned communication skills. The business programs offered by IUP faculty have been designed to sharpen both decision making and human relations skills so that graduates can compete successfully in this global environment. We are especially proud of our partnership with PES in Bangalore, India. That partnership gives you the opportunity to work with world-class faculty in a cross-cultural environment. Our faculty members have strong academic training and real-world experience. Furthermore, many of them have executive or consulting experience with major corporations. The Eberly College of Business and Information Technology at IUP has a long tradition of training individuals for successful careers in both business and information technology. The Eberly College has approximately 20,000 alumni. Many of them hold high-level positions in major corporations and accounting firms. Many others are successful entrepreneurs. There is substantial evidence that these graduates have been well prepared for today's competitive environment. The Eberly College has over two dozen academic partners throughout the world. On the main campus, the Eberly College enrolls students from approximately 40 different countries. You'll benefit from networking with students from all over the world. The Eberly College is accredited by AACSB-International, the premier accrediting body for collegiate business programs worldwide. Dr. Robert C. Camp Dean, Eberly College of Business and IT, IUP

The Eberly College of Business and Information Technology

IUP has been offering its MBA program for several decades in the U.S. and has attracted students from every significant region of the world, including India. I am pleased that we have been able to offer the same MBA degree on the campus of PES, Bangalore, India since 2005 with the help of full-time Ph.D. faculty from IUP . The faculty members possess excellent teaching, scholarly and industry credentials. This program is designed to provide students a rigorous MBA program from an AACSB-accredited U.S. business school. Students have the option of completing their MBA in Bangalore or finishing the specialization courses on IUP's main campus in Indiana, PA. Nearly 99% of the over 200 students who have applied have secured their U.S. visas. It is heartening to see that many of the alumni have established successful careers in leading organizations in the U.S. as well as in India. The diversity of the classroom in this program is unparalleled in the Indian context--faculty with origins and experiences from every major region of the world and exchange students from the U.S., Germany, France, Taiwan and other parts of Europe and Asia. The student body in the Bangalore program itself is growingly diverse with students from several countries of Asia, Middle East and Africa. The program has created a truly global learning environment for students. Students will get assistance in seeking internships and job placements both in India and in the U.S. Additional benefits include state-of-the-art instructional facilities both at PES and at IUP , significant cost savings (both tuition and living/hostel), very knowledgeable and student-friendly advisors in Bangalore as well as in the U.S. In 2009, we are excited about starting the inaugural batch of the BBM/BS in Business program on PES campus in Bangalore. The Eberly College of Business and Information Technology at IUP enrols approximately 2,200 students. The size of the student body allows the College to offer a wide range of program options including Accounting, Business Education, Business Technology Support, Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management, Finance, General Management, Human Resource Management, International Business, Management Information System, Marketing and Supply Chain Management. The Eberly College is accredited by AACSB International, the premier accrediting agency for collegiate business programs. Only about 15% of all colleges and universities worldwide hold AACSB International accreditation. This could be considered analogous to a corporation having its stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Eberly College of Business and Information Technology is included in the Princeton Review's Best 296 Business Schools, 2009 edition. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Eberly College has been selected for this annual guidebook. All the professors in the Eberly College have both doctoral degrees and extensive industrial/professional experience. A significant number of Eberly College professors have had lengthy careers with some of the largest corporations in the world, and several of the accounting faculty members have had public accounting experience. The Eberly College has one of the largest business internship program in the state of Pennsylvania. It provides internship opportunities with many major corporations in virtually all the major cities in the eastern half of the United States. Many interns secure permanent employment within the internship company.

Program Director's MESSAGE: Dr. Prashanth N. Bharadwaj IUP

Two of the significant aspects of AACSB accreditation are faculty qualifications and assessment of student learning. Accreditation helps faculty maintain currency in scholarly and industry-related activities. In terms of students, AACSB accreditation requires that faculty ensure appropriate learning outcomes while engaging in continuous improvement of instructional content and delivery.
