CERTIFICATE IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND FINANCE

In an era of instant global communications, interdependent economies, and dramatic international political developments, an understanding of underlying economic, political, and social forces is critical. Under the instruction of industry experts, our programs are designed to equip players at all levels with the key skills of international business, as well as provide vital knowledge of U.S. business practices.

NYU-SCPS offers three professional certificates to meet the needs of students who are new to the field, particularly those considering an M.B.A. program, as well as professionals who wish to advance their expertise in a particular area of specialization.

The Certificate in International Business and Finance is a foundation-focused program emphasizing core skills and competencies, which can be completed in nine months. Two Advanced Certificates in International Business and Finance build on the core certificate with specializations in either India, China, and Other Emerging Markets or Overseas Investing.

These programs cover the international financial system, including exchange-rate mechanisms, tariffs, and international trade issues, such as:

• How to identify cultural, economic, political, and social influences in the international business arena.
• Basic concepts of multinational financial management and the impact of foreign exchange on cash flow.
• Legal, political, and economic frameworks of international markets, including the euro and eurocurrencies markets.
• Key issues of international banking operations.
• Central concepts in U.S. regulation of imports and exports.
• Cross-cultural issues and key factors in import/export businesses.

Students must decide whether they wish to pursue the fundamental certificate or one of the advanced certificates since they may not receive both a fundamental and advanced certificate. Students should declare their candidacy by the start of the fourth certificate course for which they enroll. An advanced certificate is earned by taking three courses in the area of specialization in addition to the five courses required for the fundamental certificate.

Students with minimal experience or formal training are advised to take Finance for Non-Finance Professionals/FINA1-CE9642 either simultaneously or in advance of their first course.

This certificate is awarded to students who complete five courses -- three required and two required electives. It is recommended that studetns complete the courses in the order listed.
