Students pursuing this degree are free to design their own program of study by selecting from more than 70 courses, with rela­tively few constraints imposed by fixed course requirements. Students desiring a compre­hensive overview may select courses from various disciplines, such as corporate law, securities law, trade law, commercial law, and dispute resolution.

Students desiring a more focused approach are free to concentrate their courses in one or more specialty areas. The IBEL degree thus affords students the opportunity to gain exposure to the fundamentals of various U.S. regulatory regimes while remaining free to explore in greater depth the international business that are of particular interest to them.
