International Business
Founded at Westmont more than 25 years ago, the annual summer International Business Institute (IBI) in Europe provides students with formal college coursework and a wide range of interaction with business leaders from top multinational corporations, including visits to Daimler-Benz, Nestle, The Bank of England, Royal Dutch-KLM, as well as meetings with senior governement officials at The European Union and the British Parliament. On average, about 12-15 Westmont students do IBI each summer, and the itinerary usually includes 10 or more countries in Western Europe and Scandinavia, as well as Russia and Lithuania.

Each 10-week IBI program includes three upper division courses (12 units total) that automatically meet three elective courses for the graduation requirements.
A typical summer line-up includes the following four courses:
