If you want to work on your English skills while you are in the United States in addition to taking a certificate program, you should do that before you take FPM, BUSIP and/or the Business English Internship Class (BEIC). Many of our students are very satisfied when they take this sequence of classes:

  1. General English
  2. IBEP (more English skills with business content)
  3. BUSIP or FPM (more business content with some English skills)
  4. BEIC (a practical experience in an American company)
Learn about International Business from the Professionals!
Business for International Professionals is an intensive 10-week certificate program focusing on global business with a business English language component. It will help you

  • gain a better understanding of trade, marketing, law and finance in an environment of increasingly global competition
  • improve business English language skills
  • network with faculty, university students and other business professionals
  • accomplish successful business negotiations
  • experience American culture in Seattle, a beautiful and vibrant Pacific Northwest city
BUSIP has been designed by an advisory board of UW faculty with contributions and guidance from many industry professionals.

Students who take this program may also apply for the BEIC prep seminar.

Those who successfully complete the program receive a UW Certificate in Business for International Professionals and 18 Continuing Education Units. BUSIP meets eligibility requirements for an F-1 student visa. Please note: If you choose to take BUSIP or FPM you may not return to a new ESL program the next quarter.

If you are an international business professional or international student seeking expertise in global business, this program is for you!
