Description

The STEM-designated Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Applied Economics and Management (AEM) furthers your career and gives you a competitive edge in just one year. Housed within Cornell’s Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, the program provides a curriculum that combines a strong core with a concentration area specific to your individual interest.

Students have the option to pursue the CEMS Master in International Management (MIM). The CEMS Alliance admits no more than one institution per country, and in 2020 Cornell became the only university in the United States to offer the CEMS MIM, joining a number of other top business universities from around the world. Students in the CEMS MIM complete an international semester spent on exchange at one of the other CEMS business schools’ world-class programs. The international semester is a key and required element of the program’s prestigious curriculum.
