The Consortium for Undergraduate International Business Education (CUIBE) is a network of member universities, with the goal of promoting international business education.

Journal of International Business and Economy, 22 (2), 1-27. It places special emphasis on undergraduate education, and membership in it has been used as an educational quality indicator for new program development in other universities.Lane, H. W., Bird, A., & Athanassiou, N. (2017). Translating theory into practice: Developing global leaders through undergraduate experiential education.Bird, A., Panina, D., & Newburry, W. (2020). Letter from the Editors: Special Issue on "Responsibilities of Educators in International Business". AIB Insights, 20(1), 1-3.
CUIBE was established in 2003, and has been recognized in the U.S. as a “significant advocate for international education”. Member universities undergo a substantial program review, including an on-campus site visit, before they are accepted into the consortium as full members. Membership in CUIBE has been used as a basis for the development of a benchmarking methodology for empirical research on international business education practices.Dahan, N. M., Di Gregorio, D., Seeton, A., & Hadani, M. (2019). Beyond beauty contests: Benchmarking undergraduate international business education programs according to best practice adoption. Thunderbird International Business Review, 61(6), 961-75.
Most of the CUIBE member universities have received funding from the Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), at the U.S. Department of Education; and several of the founding schools - such as the University of South Carolina, San Diego State University, and Northeastern University - have been recognized as models for foreign language training in international business education.Johnson, J. (2017). Foreign Language Training in US Undergraduate IB Programs: Are We Providing Students What They Need To Be Successful? Journal of Teaching in International Business, 28(1), 35-48. Sacco, S. J. (2023). Discipline-Oriented Study Abroad: An Alternative Model to Current Business French Instruction. The French Review, 96(4), 123-140.
