Following several years of collaboration and exchange, San Diego’s California International Business University & Copenhagen’s Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College are joining forces in a unique educational partnership creating a Danish-American business educational institution in America’s Finest City.
Offering a Truly Contemporary and Global Foundation for Practical Learning
In an increasingly global marketplace, these two institutions with shared missions and visions have realized the synergistic value of joining forces. San Diego and Copenhagen share a similar population size, seafaring history, and global port and trade focus. These institutions are bridging the American and Scandinavian learning methodologies and practical and effective approach to business education.
Brad McDearman, fellow and director of Metro Trade and Investment at Brookings said: “San Diego was selected to be part of the Global Cities Exchange due to its unique cross-border dynamic, Pacific Rim location, demonstrated regional collaboration, and commitment to being more intentional about positioning the region globally. San Diego is a region with tremendous potential in international markets.”
“San Diego is an ideal community that has rapidly assumed a position as one of the top entrepreneurial marketplaces in the United States” says CIBU Vice President, Lauren Woo, “while it’s great that magazines such as Forbes have recognized us as a best city to start a business, we must prepare future entrepreneurs for successful start-up. This begins with a truly global education.”
Celebrating 20 years in 2015, CIBU has alumni in 35 countries across the globe. By partnering with Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College, CIBU Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral degrees will take on a greater global significance and exposure.
The mission of the California International Business University is to advance the standards for evidence-based improvement of student learning and practical educational experiences through critical thinking, cultural intelligence and analytical competence in preparing graduates to excel in an entrepreneurial environment and a maturing global market.
The vision of CIBU was developed based on the need for international business schools in the United States. CIBU is a school in a growth-oriented business environment in the United States, which brings together young aspirants from countries of the world who study together with excellent faculty in a collaborative spirit.
Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College, founded in 1881, is one of Denmark’s largest educational institutions serving more than 20,000 students and course participants within the country, as well as over 1,500 students in China. Niels Brock has more than 130 years of experience delivering business and commerce education.
At Niels Brock, their mission is ambitiously and constantly dedicated to developing and offering relevant education programs that ensure the right competences for the corporate world and optimize the possibilities of the individual. That is Niels Brock’s contribution to Danish and foreign competitiveness.
It is the vision of Niels Brock to remain the most international and innovative business school in Denmark, recognized for our skilled teachers who optimize the students learning process.
The result of this partnership is a “Danish American Business School” with a global perspective and international reach. This new institution, whose programs are based in San Diego and Copenhagen, offers study abroad programs in China, Vietnam, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, and the United Kingdom.
A Uniquely Global & Practical Learning Experience
“At Niels Brock, we very much look forward to our new partnership with CIBU. The value for students and companies in combining the Scandinavian way of teaching, that focuses on student involvement and independency, with the American way of commercial thinking, is unique, and a model case for future educational partnerships.” says Anya Eskildsen, President of Niels Brock.
With a board consisting of educational and business leaders from the United States, Denmark, and the UK, this is a truly global collaboration. As their collaboration develops, it will expand business generation and opportunities for both cities, nations, and the global markets they draw students from, and send faculty to.
