Master of Science in International Policy Management
Understanding Political & Economic Dynamics and Interactions
The Master of Science in International Policy Management (MSIPM) is a cohort-based online degree program that builds on Kennesaw State University’s strong tradition and long-standing commitment to international education. The program prepares future leaders in the private and public sectors to understand the interaction between political and economic dynamics in the global context.
The curriculum offered by the program will enhance understanding of international
policy in an interactive collaborative learning environment, whether students are
recent college graduates or have experience working in public, private, or nongovernmental
organizations. Students will learn how to assess political risk, better understand
the regulatory environment in which corporations function, and deal with the cultural
nuances inherent to the global negotiation process. The online nature of the program
offers flexibility for students to complete an academically solid degree program while
continuing current employment, whether working in-state, nationwide, or abroad. Additionally,
the cohort model builds a learning community for mutual support.
Cohort Model
The MSIPM program is a 30 semester-hour course of study that uses a cohort-base online style of course delivery. Students begin as a group in fall semester of year one and complete the program in spring of year two. Since courses are offered in a predetermined sequence, students can finish the program in 20 months.
