Port Harcourt, Rivers State — Franklin International Business School (FIBS), in partnership with Graham International University (GIU) and approved by the Graham Department of Education (GDE), is stepping up its commitment to global business education with a clear, focused suite of academic programs designed for aspirational professionals, managers and future leaders. Announced today on the school’s official promotional banner, the offering includes undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral tracks — from the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) to the Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.) — with more than 20 specialities available across disciplines.
In an era where business moves faster and crosses borders effortlessly, graduates need more than ambition. They need practical skills, strategic insight, and an international mindset. Franklin International Business School and Graham International University have structured their programs to answer that need directly: broad-based foundations, advanced managerial training, and research-led doctoral work, each with practical relevance to regional and global markets.
The undergraduate Bachelor of Business Administration provides students with a rock-solid grounding in core business functions — finance, marketing, operations, human resources and entrepreneurship — while exposing learners to critical thinking, ethical practice, and real-world problem solving. For early-career professionals and school leavers, the B.B.A. serves as both a springboard into industry and a flexible base for specialization.
The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) track is tailored for professionals seeking to accelerate their careers. The curriculum focuses on leadership, strategic decision-making, organizational change and analytics-driven management. Working professionals can expect programs that balance theory with applied projects, case studies and opportunities to engage with industry practitioners.
At the apex of professional business education, the Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.) equips experienced executives and senior professionals to become industry thought leaders. The D.B.A. emphasizes applied research, advanced methodology, and the development of actionable strategies that address complex organisational challenges. Graduates emerge prepared to influence policy, drive innovation, and lead significant institutional change.
A standout feature highlighted on the banner is the range of specialities: more than 20 areas of concentrated study, enabling students to tailor their qualifications to specific sectors and career goals. Whether a candidate is targeting finance, international trade, supply chain management, digital marketing, entrepreneurship, or another niche, the breadth of options supports both depth and relevance.
The banner also indicates that the programs are offered jointly by Franklin International Business School and Graham International University, under the approval of the Graham Department of Education (GDE). The promotional graphic includes a set of logos at the bottom indicating joint accreditation and international networks — suggesting the institution’s alignment with external quality and professional bodies.
