The degree requires 30 to 49 units of coursework covering a business core, electives, and a variety of courses in international business. The prerequisites consist of foundation courses in statistics, financial and managerial accounting, organizational behavior, managerial economics, marketing, operations management, and financial management. A student with an undergraduate degree in business may be eligible to waive some or all prerequisite courses. The MS in International Business will prepare graduates for the real world which awaits them upon graduation, a globalized world in which success is dependent upon the ability to excel in a rapidly changing environment. It is a world with disappearing borders in which the boundaries of success are unlimited.
Contemporary business is no longer domestic business.
Successful companies are globalized companies. And successful managers are those with international perspectives. The M. S. in International Business enriches the students' education in two distinct ways. First, the prerequisites of the program include at least one course in every functional area of business. This component instills in the students a general knowledge and understanding of business and gives them the required core courses.
