Master the global marketplace at Northeastern University

Kexin Li aimed to secure a position in global hospitality management and recognized that earning her master’s in international management would complement her undergraduate background and prepare her for her career endeavors. The D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University was the best fit for her to take the next step toward her dream.

D’Amore-McKim’s MS in International Management develops culturally agile global leaders with advanced abilities to leverage data and technology to deliver creative solutions. This combination is crucial for strategizing and executing complex business plans in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.

You can choose electives in financial reporting and managerial decision-making, international finance management, competing to win in emerging markets, global managerial economics, international marketing, and global supply chain strategy.

Experience-powered learning opportunities bring this curriculum to life. Students can take part in D’Amore-McKim’s unique Global Field Study.  This three-credit course exposes you to the global business environment by immersing you in a country’s business practices and culture abroad.

Students also have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through a Make Your Case consulting project. Tamara Al-HomsiIn one of my classes, I had the opportunity to write a business case for an international organization. I utilized the fundamental business knowledge I’ve learned to use my research to produce high-level work. Classes like these have opened my eyes to new ways to think about global workforce management and global development.”

Stephanie Manna impacted her studies. “I analyzed whether the company should expand into the South African or U.S. market. At the end of the project, I presented my analysis and recommendations as if I was her consultant. This project wasn’t just a hypothetical exercise—it took my education to a whole new level of realness.”

Kexin says, “Northeastern is famous for its experiential learning and preparing students for job opportunities. I hope to work in the U.S. post-graduation, and the many opportunities offered at D’Amore-McKim to participate in real industry projects and networking events will help me gain experience that will help me launch my career.”

Other experiences amplifying classroom learning include managing a real mutual fund,  becoming Bloomberg Certified, or launching your start-up through the IDEA Student-Led Venture Accelerator.

Talk with someone who has been there, and you’ll hear about the Northeastern advantage. Once you graduate, you’ll join this network of over 300,000 graduates residing in more than 181 countries.

The journey to get there is worth it —ask graduate Alix Crichton. After completing the MS in International Management, she took on a customer service job with a French company in industrial lifting. In two years, she was promoted and now works in strategic business development.

“It’s been only two years since I got my degree, and I’m already where I want to be professionally,” she says. “The program played a huge role in my personal development—I learned to sell myself, express my ambition clearly, and adapt to different cultures more easily.”

Minwoo Kim first started his graduate studies by completing a graduate certificate at Northeastern. He then was able to apply the credits he earned toward a MS in International Management and has since launched his own tech start-up.

“This program has been beneficial to me because I have been able to enrich my cultural agility and prepare myself to collaborate with international organizations,” says Minwoo. “I’m happy I am developing the expertise I need to excel.”
