Master of Science in the Field of International Business

The master of science in the field of international business program is designed to provide students with knowledge, skills and abilities to collect, organize and analyze a variety of data in a changing and uncertain global context—and make informed decisions for their organizations. The program provides students with a strong foundation in business and technical knowledge and skills, enhances their global mindset, and gives them the opportunity to apply what they've learned in two application challenges: an international business "desk study" capstone and study-abroad capstone.
