Application OPEN now! Integrated Business Professional Association

The Integrated Business Professional Association (IBPA) is a prestigious application-based program intended to enhance the student engagement experience within the Integrated Business Major in the College of Business.
Integrated Business Professional Associates (IBPAs) embody and communicate the vision and mission of the Integrated Business major by promoting engagement in the opportunities available within the IB major and representing the major at key competitions and events. The role of the ambassadors is to serve as:

  IBPAs support the college and IB department’s mission to give students a competitive advantage in the world of business now and in the future. It is our goal to lead the IB major into a “next-generation business program”
