Graduate Business Programs in the Boston MA area

Brandeis International Business School, Boston:
The Brandeis International Business School (IBS) at Brandeis University in Waltham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts is located 10 miles from Boston. The school's teaching addresses three core areas: management, finance and economic policy. Each is taught within the context of the global economy and against the background of international interdependence. All students are required to have or acquire international experience and knowledge of a language other than English. IBS has exchange relationships with 20 universities and schools of business in Europe, Asia, and South America.

Graduate Business Degree Programs:

MBA
The MBA at the International Business School is one of a handful of business degrees that directly targets this skill set. It is a two-year program that provides grounding in the international dimension of every business function, incorporates international experience through study or an internship abroad, and exposes students to the best practices of the world's leading companies.

MA in International Economics and Finance
The IBS MA is an innovative, two-year degree that targets these skills: it's timely and practical, designed to help you succeed. Compared to an MBA, it provides depth in finance and economics. And unlike an economics degree, it's applied rather than theoretical.

PhD in International Economics and Finance
Research, consulting, teaching, and high-level policy making require the advanced skills developed through a PhD. The Brandeis PhD is distinguished by its international economics and finance orientation and its focus on policy and business applications in these fields. Its core courses are similar to those of a rigorous economics degree, but its electives target applications rather than theory. Students have opportunities to study and conduct research abroad, and to participate in seminars and research projects at Brandeis and other institutions in the Boston area.

Master of Science in Finance (Part Time / Full Time)
The MSF degree is rapidly gaining popularity in the US and abroad because it is shorter than the MBA (10 courses instead of the typical 16) and provides greater depth in finance. The Brandeis MSF is a practical, broad-gauged degree with a focus on global markets. Its curriculum covers many of the topics that also appear on the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) exam.

Undergraduate Programs at IBS
IBS is a professional graduate school of business, economics, and finance, but offers a few undergraduate programs in conjunction with the School of Arts and Sciences and the Brandeis Department of Economics.
