Students in the Master of Arts in International Economics and Finance (MA) – Lemberg Program are pre-registered in Brandeis International Business School (IBS) core courses for their first (Fall) semester:
- Two course requirements (Investments and Accounting) offer two levels to better meet students’ abilities. Your placement is determined by prior coursework and experience.
- Half of the incoming class is enrolled in Launching Your Global Career (BUS 224f) in the Fall Semester, and half in the Spring Semester. Apart from this, students are not pre-enrolled in any courses in their second (spring) semester.
Students are expected to fulfill their core requirements during their first year.
- Required courses should not be looked at a something on a list to check off as complete. These courses provide the essential context for understanding all of your degree work at Brandeis IBS. The program is purposely designed with a specific course sequence. Any exceptions to this should be discussed with the Program Advisor.
- If you believe that previous course work warrants an exemption from a degree requirement, you must request this in writing before February 1 of your first year.
Required courses must be taken at IBS, unless some extraordinary circumstances warrant an exception, which must be approved by the Program Advisor.
