The University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, known for its commitment to exposing students to the principles of international business, has become the newest member of the Global Business School Network (GBSN).

It has thus joined 30 other top business schools in a non-profit network which works to promote education of business managers in developing countries and shares resources that help global institutions achieve that goal.

G. Anandalingam, dean of the Smith School, has hailed the move and stressed that the organization's "mission to educate the next generation of managers … makes us perfect partners in our mutual quest to use business education to make the world a better place."

Those who consider enrolling in an MBA program with an international focus may consider the Maryland institution as it enables its students to travel throughout the world to learn about business in 10-day MBA global study courses and undergraduate trips to places like Dubai, Brazil, Hong Kong, Beijing, Europe and India.

According to PayScale.com, a research company, average salaries for holders of MBA degrees ranged from $73,510 to $171,583 in 2008.
