Curriculum – MS in International Management Studies

Explore the UT Dallas MS in International Management Studies Degree Plan

The Master of Science in International Management Studies (MS IMS) is a minimum 36 semester credit hour degree program that enables students to strategically manage business operations in both domestic and international settings. Students learn about the analysis of functional areas of domestic and international management, while gaining practical and theoretical knowledge of cultural, sociopolitical, and geographical challenges and opportunities affecting international business decisions. Students must take core courses first, then electives and then courses from a specific concentration.

To apply for this degree program, an undergraduate degree is required (all majors are considered). Students must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average (GPA) in both core courses and in all graduate courses taken in the degree program, excluding program prerequisites to qualify for the MS degree. Students can obtain a double MS and MBA degree by taking a total of 63 semester credit hours (assuming they meet all the degree requirements for both programs).
