International Graduate Students

Binghamton University's School of Management values the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of our graduate students. We believe they enhance the overall experience and curriculum of our programs and open us and other students up to new considerations and ideas.

Our world-class faculty is dedicated to helping students enhance vital skills such as critical thinking and effective communication, building the confidence needed to support future career goals.

Our graduate programs provide motivated individuals from all over the globe with the necessary skills, experiences and insights to emerge among the future leaders of business.

Deemed the "public ivy," our internationally recognized university is honored to have received eight U.S. national awards for internationalizing the campus and its coursework.

Experiential Opportunities

We believe that learning doesn't just happen in the classroom. By providing high-impact, experiential learning opportunities, our students are able to develop the hands-on skills needed for their future career before they graduate.

Opportunities include:

  • Create a comprehensive media campaign for Zenith, one of the largest media marketing agencies in the country, in the Strategic Media Planning course.
  • Consult with regional and local organizations on strategic leadership and change management practices in the Strategic Leadership course.
  • Develop industry reports with a team of equity research analysts in New York City through the Jefferies Externship Program.
  • Analyze supply chain efficiency and make management recommendations for real-world companies like Mazda Motors in a supply chain management project course.
  • Manage the Binghamton University Investment Fund portfolio worth $500,000 and gain invaluable experience in following the financial markets and valuing companies.

There is a plethora of opportunities here that go beyond just your classes, and I think getting involved with them is a vital part of your overall education. And these opportunities can then lead to even more opportunities.
