For a Global Perspective, a Global Student-Body
Our students, professors, and professionals come to BU from all over the world. Their diverse backgrounds not only enrich discussions but provide a foundation upon which to build a global network—one that can last a lifetime. Many of our students gain internships with world-class Boston-area companies in the healthcare, biotech, artificial intelligence, informatics, sportswear, food and beverage, and hospitality industries. Our multicultural classroom prepares you for savvy and strategic leadership in fields such as Applied Business Analytics, Enterprise Risk Management, Financial Management, Global Marketing Management, Project Management, and Supply Chain Management, among others.
First-Rate Faculty
Our international faculty boast outstanding academic credentials, excellent teaching abilities, and distinguished records of research and publication. Many also possess years of business leadership experience in pertinent industries. With this hands-on expertise, they can enrich case studies, add context to theory, and provide first-hand analysis of real-world business challenges. Graduate assistantships provide an opportunity to collaborate with faculty on their research endeavors.
Our Mission
Drawing from contemporary research and established practice, we seek to develop critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and innovative leaders with the acumen and agility to excel in the perpetually evolving global business and management environment.
Our Approach
We develop flexible on-campus and online programs that reflect contemporary realities in modern business and management environments, establishing practical curricula and applicable projects and simulations that are continually reviewed and updated. We ensure that our courses build key skills in critical thinking, communication, decision-making, and technology, while fostering respect for diverse perspectives and the complexity of today’s international business environment.
Management Programs of the Future
All our programs are accredited by AACSB International―The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and, in the case of our Project Management degree, the Project Management Institute Global Accreditation Center for Project Management Education Programs (GAC). These programs reflect the values and prestige of Boston University while also preparing you to meet the business challenges of tomorrow.
