Globalization is not an abstract future - it has arrived in business, economics and finance. Corporations and financial markets span the globe, and the effects of policy decisions extend far beyond national borders. The global economy calls for a new breed of leaders - people with the knowledge, perspective and experience needed to run international operations.
The global marketplace is IBS's academic specialty. Within this niche, we offer full- and part-time degree programs to address many career interests. We offer special degree programs in partnership with other colleges and universities - including a dual degree with Paris Dauphine University - and seasonal short-term executive programs for international executives and policy-makers. There are also opportunities for Brandeis undergraduates to study at the School, and an intensive Executive Education program on Macroeconomic Policy and Management.
The common thread is our specialized focus on international finance, economics and management, and on international perspectives and experiences. Our MA and MBA, in particular, are among the few in the world that require international experience and provide exciting options for acquiring it.
