University of New Haven

What you'll study

The programme blends core business administration topics with courses focused on international strategy, global markets and cross‑border operations. Typical modules include international finance and currency risk management, global marketing and consumer behaviour, international trade law and policy, cross‑cultural management and negotiation, global supply chain and logistics, and international business strategy. Students also study quantitative methods and research techniques applicable to international business decision making.

Study is delivered through a combination of lectures, case studies, group projects and applied assignments. Many students complete a capstone project, practicum or consultancy project for an external client that applies classroom learning to a real international business problem; there may also be options for an independent thesis or internship, depending on student aims and availability.

Entry requirements

Applicants are normally expected to hold a recognised bachelor’s degree in any discipline or equivalent professional experience. Admissions typically consider undergraduate GPA, a CV or résumé demonstrating professional experience, and a personal statement outlining career goals and reasons for pursuing international business. Some applicants may be asked to attend an interview.

Graduate test scores (GMAT/GRE) may be requested in some cases but are often optional, particularly for applicants with substantial relevant work experience. International applicants whose first language is not English must meet the University’s English language proficiency requirements via an accepted test (for example TOEFL or IELTS) or approved equivalent evidence of proficiency.

Career prospects

Graduates move into a range of roles in multinational and domestic organisations with international activity. Typical career paths include international business development, export/import management, global supply chain and logistics, international marketing and brand management, trade compliance and customs, international finance and treasury operations, and management consulting with a global focus.

Students from this programme also progress to roles in government trade agencies, international NGOs and development organisations, where skills in cross‑cultural communication, policy analysis and project management are valued. The emphasis on applied projects and internships supports students in building professional networks and practical experience to transition into these careers.
