MBA Degree Program for International Students


The Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree program at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business offers international students with F-1 status an exceptional benefit.

Work authorization with an F-1 student visa for MBA candidates

MBA students at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business are working professionals, and the application of management attributes in the workplace is integral to the MBA program. As a result, international MBA students with F-1 status are eligible for curriculum-related employment from the first day of classes at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business. Work authorization under the F-1 student visa lasts for a maximum of 12 months.

Online and on-campus MBA offerings

As an international student, you may wish to enroll in our online MBA program and complete some program requirements before entering the United States. The program is also offered at GU/MSB college campuses in Minneapolis, MN (the IDS Center), Woodbury, MN (southeast of St. Paul), Fargo-Moorhead, (ND-MN) and St. Cloud, MN; Sioux Falls, SD; and Eau Claire, WI. Sessions begin every six weeks and students typically complete the Master of Business Administration degree in less than two years.

Acquiring a Form I-20 and F-1 student visa

If you are a foreign national considering coming to the USA for MBA studies, and would like more information about the Globe University/Minnesota School of Business program, please contact our admissions office. If you apply and are admitted to our Master of Business Administration program, the college will issue a Form I-20 application to be included with your F-1 Visa application.
