Build critical skills for leading with impact in international business
Our MS in International Management prepares you to lead across borders with the cultural agility and business expertise to thrive in a global marketplace.

Program timeline
As a full-time student, you'll study on our Boston campus as part of a tight-knit class, learning together and sharing experiences as you move through the program. Your courses are thoughtfully planned in a set order over three or four semesters, ending with a project where you'll apply all the skills you've learned as part of a team. With no work experience required for admission, this is a great option for recent graduates.
Typical program timeline
Designed for professionals who want to study in the evenings, our part-time format allows you to build skills that you can apply in real time—and complete your degree in less than two years. Take advantage of our flexible course schedule to create a new schedule each semester and alternate evening class times.
You'll begin the MS in International Management program by mastering the core concepts that every global leader needs. Then, as early as your second semester, you'll start shaping the degree around your goals.
Here's the best part: half of your credits are electives. That means you have the freedom to dive deep into the areas that matter most to you—whether that's entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, or even courses outside of business in fields like law, healthcare, or computer science.
