The International Maritime Business (IMBU) program prepares cadets for careers as business professionals serving the complex global supply chain.

Cadets acquire wide-ranging business skills — such as accounting, economics, finance, and negotiations — and maritime industry knowledge — such as admiralty law, port terminal operations, and shipping. These unique skills provide cadets with an edge in the increasingly global marketplace. With 90% of goods traveling by ship at some point in the journey from origin to destination, the industry is in need of professionals with this specific focus.

Accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE), this program requires at least two co-ops and an international or maritime experiential component to build practical maritime experience and develop a global perspective while creating relationships worldwide.  Cadets may elect to participate in a sea term in place of a co-op or experiential learning.
