Certificate in International Trade, Finance, and Logistics

Beginning in Fall 2014, the Certificate in International Business and Finance and the Certificate in International Trade, Finance, and Logistics will be combined into a new Certificate in International Business. Students who have already declared their candidacy in one of these Certificates will be contacted by the Department of Finance and Law Programs to determine the appropriate course work needed to complete the Certificate.

In an era of instant global communications, interdependent economies, and dramatic international political developments, an understanding of underlying economic, political, and social forces is critical. Under the instruction of industry experts, our programs are designed to equip players at all levels with the key skills of international business as well as to provide vital knowledge of U.S. business practices. The NYU School of Professional Studies offers a professional certificate to meet the needs of students who are new to the field, particularly those considering an M.B.A. program, as well as professionals who wish to advance their expertise in a particular area of specialization.

The Certificate in International Business is a foundation-focused program emphasizing core skills and competencies in which students are required to take three required classes. Students may then choose a “concentration” in either Finance or Logistics.

These programs cover the international financial system, including exchange-rate mechanisms, tariffs, and international trade issues such as:

• Identification of cultural, economic, political, and social influences in the international business arena
• Basic concepts of multinational financial management and the impact of foreign exchange on cash flow
• Legal, political, and economic frameworks of international markets, including the euro and eurocurrencies markets
• Central concepts in U.S. regulation of imports and exports
• Cross-cultural issues and key factors in import/export businesses
• U.S. laws and regulations that pertain to shipping, importing, and exporting, as well as the many legal issues and considerations professionals in this field encounter
• Methods of financing—such as loans and credit—utilized in conducting international trade
• Best practices for designing business plans and utilizing inbound and outbound logistics in decision-making

The Certificate in International Business is awarded to students who complete five courses—three required and two electives.
