IAGE Certificate
The Masters of International Affairs and Global Enterprise (MIAGE) program was established
to combine the study of international business, international law, and international
social sciences, instilling students with comprehensive, operational knowledge of
how multinational organizations function in the global market. The program's interdisciplinary
core steeps students in economics, law, research methods, political science, international
management, and cultural competency. The MIAGE program is one of a few of its kind.
The goal of offering the IAGE certificate is to allow a greater number of people to
receive professional training in the field. The certificate will provide a standalone
professional credential for career development as well as an area specialty competence
and profile building tool for current graduate students.
Tuition
MIAGE tuition costs fluctuate due to differential tuition. The added expenses of differential tuition are approximately $700/credit for business courses, $600/credit for IAGE courses, and $450/credit for law courses.
