The University’s full-time MBA program, which is one of only two in Connecticut – and less than 30 across the U.S. – that offer concentrations that are STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) certified by the federal government, enables you to both master new skills through rigorous coursework and build a portfolio of experience through internships and real-world learning opportunities that will prepare you to excel.

Our program is a great choice for those who’ve recently completed an undergraduate degree or who are looking to continue their education straight out of college. The program’s schedule allows for students to complete the program in as few as 12 months for those who meet the criteria to waive the three business foundation courses, and carry a 12-credit hour load. Students who do not meet the waiver criteria may complete the program in less than two years.

Global Supply Chain Management

The concentration advances the student’s knowledge of and proficiency in the administration of integrated decision practices that create efficiencies within the organization.

The International Business - Marketing degree is designed to provide in-depth expertise in the discipline of marketing while it concurrently provides students with a broader, global business perspective. Such perspective is essential to operating in today’s increasing complex multi-national business context. The program ensures students have a proficiency in a second language, enhanced socio-cultural awareness and a robust study abroad experience. Today’s business climate is marked by fluid and interconnected financial markets, widely available technological advancements that increase global connectivity, increased international trade, and the emergence of vibrant growing economies in what were formerly considered third world countries. Increased globalization has necessitated that managers have a broad, holistic perspective that incorporates the diverse components of an international business degree. Such a degree will become increasingly valuable as the trends associated with 21st century commerce progress.

Program Outcomes

• Students will evaluate how the cultural and legal differences between the country in which they studied abroad and the U.S. would impact how they operate in that country.
• Students earning a B.S. degree in international business - marketing are required to complete 121 credits, including the university core curriculum (41 credits) and the business program core (30 credits).   Further clarification and additional requirements are outlined below:

Data Science is an emerging field that combines methods from machine learning, artificial intelligence, and statistics with entirely new technologies for handling vast amounts of complex and quickly-changing data. The job of a data scientist is to apply these methods to gather information and achieve goals that are otherwise impossible for human experts due the large quantities and complexity of the data.

In the University of New Haven’s M.S. in data science program, you will develop proficiencies in the key skills expected of leading data scientists, including deep learning and statistical analysis, and the data skills needed to work with unstructured data and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Possible roles and applications include:

• Energy: Creating a system for the best distribution of electricity on a city’s power grid, to maximizing utilization of wind and solar resources through quickly-changing weather conditions.
• Commerce: Detecting and adapting to patterns of fraudulent transactions in the 500 billion online transactions performed each day.
• Healthcare:Developing systems for monitoring data collection captured by wearable devices to identify potential warning signs at an early stage.
• Law Enforcement:Identifying potential warnings of upcoming terrorist activity by scanning the thousands of hours of video uploaded to YouTube each day.

Before September 11, 2001, the job market for emergency management was already expanding quickly. The movement of populations into the "Sunshine States" and into risk-prone areas such as coastlines, floodplains, and forests made natural events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and tornadoes far more threatening and challenging to communities and businesses. After September 11, terrorism in all forms — including biological and chemical — became a crucial and inextricable part of emergency management.

A unique experience

Only the second such program in New England, the M.S. in Emergency Management program offers 36 credits of interdisciplinary coursework — delivered both online and on campus — that prepares students for successful roles in disaster mitigation and prevention. Students in the program complete eight required core courses covering topics in hazard mitigation, catastrophe readiness, disaster recovery, emergency incident management, and more. An additional four courses of electives are required for the degree, with the approval of the program advisor students may select courses from areas of study such as criminal justice, fire science, public administration, national security, or another area.

Students must complete a total of 126 credits to earn the bachelor of science degree in computer engineering. Humanities or social science electives must be selected to fulfill the University Core Curriculum requirements, and students must complete the internship requirement.

Technical electives are 3000-level or higher CSCI or ELEC courses that fit into the student’s plan of study and are approved by the academic adviser. One technical elective may be taken outside the specified areas with the approval of the academic adviser. In the final year of study the student takes a two-semester senior design sequence, CMPE 4497 and CMPE 4498. In the first semester the student selects a topic, completes a literature search, and commences the design process. In the second semester, the student completes the design, implements the project, and presents the results.

The following list shows the sequence of courses that a student should follow to complete the program in four years.
