CLASS SCHEDULE:
The graduate programs are designed with the working student in mind.

In addition, the faculty/student ratio and the class sizes are small, which enables close interaction between the students and the professor.

SCHOOL SPECIALIZATIONS:
FINANCE SPECIALIZATION
The objectives of the FINANCE field of specialization are threefold: familiarizing the student with the importance, scope of operations and problems faced by business firms in their international financing activities; assisting career-minded degree candidates in evaluating the growth prospects, requirements and opportunities in this field of business endeavor; and
making the student aware of the inter-connections between international corporate finance, government economic policy and the international economic environment.

MARKETING MANAGEMENT SPECIALIZATION
The objective of the marketing management specialization is to develop professional marketing executives by equipping them with a rich, integrated understanding of the role of marketing within an enterprise. Emphasis is placed on creating skills that cultivate a keen awareness of the rapidly changing demands of a marketing manager’s environment. The curriculum focuses on the role of the marketing executive, emphasizing the organization, planning, evaluation and control of all aspects of a firm’s marketing activities. The student is exposed to methods of new product development, management of advertising, distribution and sales administration. They also become familiar with market data, analysis and quantitative marketing models in decision-making.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SPECIALIZATION
The international business specialization is for students who wish to take their global business education even further, perhaps preparing for a specific overseas assignment or building upon an undergraduate degree or prior experience in international relations, a language specialty or other such career pursuit.
