The Master of International Management (MIM) is an innovative, graduate-level man- agement degree program, designed to fill a void in traditional business education. As the business communities of the world become more intertwined, managers are increasingly challenged by such factors as cultural differences, fluctuating exchange rates, trade regula- tions, foreign competition, and the opening of world markets. The program is developed to help midcareer professionals meet these challenges, successfully pursue careers in inter- national business and commerce, and increase the competitiveness of their organizations.

Overview

In each segment of the degree program, theory and concepts are presented so the student may develop and evaluate administrative skills. In each course, faculty members combine theoretical concepts with the practical application of usable skills. This degree program consists of seven core courses, four track courses, and an end-of-program option. The program has four areas of specialization:

■ Energy resources management and policy ■ International commerce

■ International finance ■ International marketing

Area Studies Option

Upon approval of the program director and the dean, students who have language pro- ficiency and experience in a particular region of the world may receive transfer credit for up to two relevant graduate courses taken at another university as substitutes for courses in the MIM curriculum. Three criteria must be met by the student petitioning to enter the Area Studies option: working knowledge of a language relevant to the region or country in question, demonstrated commitment to the region (nationality, work experience, previous coursework, and so forth), and relevance of the transferred courses to the MIM curriculum (regional economics, trade, business, and so forth). Other students interested in area studies should consider IMAN 661.

New Students

The recommended first course for new students is IMAN 601.

Formats/Locations

Classes in the MIM program are currently offered online and at Adelphi. Students should check the current Graduate Schedule of Classesto determine when courses will be offered at specific locations.

Students who first complete the entire MIM degree program and meet all requirements for graduation will be eligible to earn an MBA, in either the regular or executive for- mat, with only an additional 18 semester hours of coursework. The MBA is offered either online or in a combination of online and classroom-based study. More informa- tion on the dual degree program is on p. 81. Executive dual degree programs are described on pp. 97–98.
