Welcome to San Diego State University CIBER

San Diego State University's Center for International Business Education and Research (SDSU CIBER) is a national center of excellence funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. One of thirty-one centers nationwide, our Center was one of the first five established in 1989 and assists in linking the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training and research capacities of universities across the U.S.

SDSU CIBER serves as a catalyst to further integrate and advance a number of diverse activities relating to international business education, international business research, language training, student and faculty international exchanges, and executive education outreach programs for our various constituents. The overall mission of the national CIBER program is to help ensure the United States' long-term international competitiveness by supporting research, education, and outreach activities.

Activities of SDSU's CIBER include funding faculty research; international business curricular initiatives; outreach and development programs for the business community; training programs for language and business faculty; supporting conferences, workshops, and seminars related to global business; developing a variety of innovative activities which impact interdisciplinary education in the United States and further the Congressional mandate to enhance U.S. competitiveness abroad. SDSU CIBER is located at SDSU's College of Business Administration, and collaborates with colleges across the university, including SDSU's College of Arts and Letters.
