International Business Degrees Online

With the globalization of the world’s economy and the explosion of international financial transactions, there is a growing demand for individuals with a comprehensive understanding of international trade. The University of Jordan’s International Trade master’s degree program is designed to provide specialized knowledge in international business and trade with an emphasis on legal systems in a comparative context, in order to respond to the needs of the market and many financial sectors, companies, and organizations. International trade is important for the development of a sound market economy. Through international trade, people can buy goods and services that are not produced in their own countries–or that are produced more efficiently in another country. The money that countries receive from exports helps determine how much they can afford to spend on imports and how much they can borrow from abroad. Free trade can stimulate a country’s development and economic growth as well as help raise living conditions for all people. The master’s program in International Trade sets up students for careers in business, government, and the non profit sector, to work on scientific and economic strategies.

Goals of the Program
To develop students’ conceptual understanding of the practices and procedures of International Trade.
To train students to write and present research papers, and to perform research projects in International Trade.
To enhance students’ abilities to work effectively within the business community.
To prepare students for jobs in international, commercial, economical, and financial organizations.

The International Business specialization prepares students for careers in international operations.

Proficiency in a foreign language and culture is required. A demonstrated proficiency in a language other than English is required at an equivalent level of 12 credit hours, accomplished through coursework, by CLEP exam, or by challenge exam. A challenge exam does not relieve the student from the academic hours required to complete the degree program.

Internships may be completed in the U.S., but it is advisable for students to complete their internship abroad. If a student chooses not to take the 9-credit hour internship, these nine hours will be replaced by courses selected with the International Business advisor.

In addition to the LINK/General Education and Business Common Body of Knowledge, the international business specialization includes the following program components:

Ask us to define ourselves, and CMCers will tell you that we’re a “specialized” school: one that educates leaders for business, government and the professions. But we are quick to add that we’re so much more.

CMC is one of the nation’s leading private liberal arts colleges. Here, you won’t have to choose between a classic liberal arts education and preparation for a life of leadership. You’ll receive both. Whether it’s a major in economics, neuroscience, English or psychology, CMC has hundreds of academic opportunities to choose from.

No matter which path you take, however, you will still learn to think, challenge and question–you’ll develop the skills and acquire the knowledge required of leaders in your field of choice.

CMC History 101: Who is Donald McKenna?

Claremont McKenna College has a short, but rich history in American higher education. CMC enjoys a reputation for producing successful, well-rounded women and men who understand the importance of good leadership. Ironically then, perhaps the least known of CMC’s leaders is the College’s namesake, Donald McKenna. Donald McKenna’s legacy lives on in many ways at CMC, from the annual school-wide celebration of his Scottich heritage, to the financial support he provided for international internships, Donald McKenna left much more than substantial financial resources, he left a legacy of service and a committment to liberal education that remains at the heart of what CMC is today.

Quote of the Week
“I was shocked by how fast the hours went by. I got up at 3 a.m. and had been standing for seven hours by the time the inauguration started. Time really did fly by. I loved hearing the stories while I was in line of all the people that had come from all over. It was amazing. It was overwhelming in the most positive sense. It was impressive and entertaining.”

This MA provides an advanced understanding, from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, of key issues and debates in contemporary Middle East politics. It draws on the research strengths of teaching staff in both the Department of Politics and the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies.

The core curriculum explores key concepts and principal mainstream approaches to international relations, including the realist, English School and neoliberalist accounts, before offering different models of world order today. It applies the analytical framework of international relations to the study of the politics of the Middle East.

Members of staff in the Department and the Institute have extensive experience outside the University including work with the BBC’s external service, international NGOs and development agencies, in various government positions and senior management posts, as diplomats and as consultants for business, government and international organisations.

In recent years, graduates of Middle East Politics programmes have found employment in government, particularly in the diplomatic service; in academic institutions, where many are running their own Middle East Politics programmes in different parts of the world; in the media; in business and in organisations responsible for humanitarian assistance in the region.

Full details about this programme can be found on the School’s International Relations of the Middle East MA webpage.
