CERTIFICATES IN INTERNATIONAL<br />
BUSINESS AND FINANCE<br />
In an era <strong>of</strong> instant global communications, interdependent economies, <strong>and</strong> dramatic<br />
international political developments, an underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> underlying economic, political,<br />
<strong>and</strong> social forces is critical. Under the instruction <strong>of</strong> industry experts, our programs<br />
are designed to equip pr<strong>of</strong>essionals at all levels with the key skills <strong>of</strong> international<br />
business, as well as to provide vital knowledge <strong>of</strong> U.S. business practices.<br />
NYU-SCPS <strong>of</strong>fers three pr<strong>of</strong>essional certificates to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> students who<br />
are new to the field, particularly those considering an M.B.A. program, as well as pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
who wish to advance their expertise in a particular area <strong>of</strong> specialization.<br />
The Certificate in International Business <strong>and</strong> Finance is a foundation-focused program<br />
emphasizing core skills <strong>and</strong> competencies, which can be completed in nine<br />
months. Two Advanced Certificates in International Business <strong>and</strong> Finance build on<br />
the core certificate with specializations in either India, China, <strong>and</strong> Other Emerging<br />
Markets or Overseas Investing.<br />
Upon completion <strong>of</strong> these programs, students have an in-depth knowledge <strong>of</strong> the international<br />
financial system, including exchange-rate mechanisms, tariffs, <strong>and</strong> international<br />
trade issues:<br />
• How to identify cultural, economic, political, <strong>and</strong> social influences in the international<br />
business arena.<br />
• Basic concepts <strong>of</strong> multinational financial management <strong>and</strong> the impact <strong>of</strong> foreign<br />
exchange on cash flow.<br />
• Legal, political, <strong>and</strong> economic frameworks <strong>of</strong> international markets, including the<br />
euro <strong>and</strong> eurocurrencies markets.<br />
• Key issues <strong>of</strong> international banking operations.<br />
Students must decide whether they wish to pursue the fundamental certificate or one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the advanced certificates since they may not receive both. An advanced certificate is<br />
earned by taking three courses in the area <strong>of</strong> specialization in addition to the five<br />
courses required for the fundamental certificate.<br />
