Master of International Management/Master of Business
Administration
The purpose of the dual Master of International Management (MIM) and the Master
of Business Administration (MBA) is to enable students to extend the breadth and
depth of their management study. Based upon the shared curricula of both programs,
dual degree students may earn both the MIM and MBA degrees for substantially fewer
credits than if each program were completed separately. Thus, the joint MIM/MBA
may be completed with 54 to 57 credits rather than 78 to 81 credits.
Program Requirements
Students who are interested in pursuing dual degrees must meet the admission requirements
of each program. Information on the MIM may be found on p. 45; the MBA is
described on p. 39.
Formats/Locations
Classes in the MIM program are currently offered online and at Adelphi; classes for
students pursuing the MBA as part of a dual degree program are offered online.
Students should check the current Graduate Schedule of Classes to determine when
courses will be offered at specific locations.
Students with at least five years of managerial experience may be eligible to complete all
or part of the MBA portion of the dual degree program in an accelerated executive format;
more information is on pp. 95–96.
Curriculum Requirements
Students who first complete the MIM and meet all the requirements for graduation
for that program may then earn the MBA by completing 18 credits of MBA work.
The choice of MBA seminars depends on the student’s MIM specialty track.
Students who complete the international commerce and international marketing tracks
of the MIM must take the following MBA courses:
AMBA 601D The Role of Managers and Organizations in Society (6)
AMBA 604D Technology and Operations Management (6)
AMBA 605D The Economics of Management Decisions (6)
Students who complete the international finance track of the MIM must take the following
MBA courses:
AMBA 601D The Role of Managers and Organizations in Society (6)
AMBA 603D The Marketing of New Ideas (6)
AMBA 604D Technology and Operations Management (6)
Students who first complete the MBA and meet all the requirements for graduation
for that program may then earn the MIM by completing 12 credits from the MIM
curriculum.
