Pace University

What you'll study

The programme combines core management theory with practical applications for operating across borders. Core subjects typically include international business strategy, international finance and monetary systems, global marketing, cross‑cultural management, international trade and economic policy, and global supply chain management. Students also study quantitative methods and research techniques relevant to international business decision‑making.

The degree structure normally offers a mix of required courses and electives, allowing specialisation in areas such as international finance, global marketing, supply chain and logistics, or international entrepreneurship. Many students complete a capstone project, consulting practicum or internship that applies classroom learning to a real organisation or market challenge. Coursework emphasises case analysis, group projects, presentations and applied research.
