From August 2020, Cornell students on the Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Applied Economics and Management in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management may choose to pursue a designation in International Management from CEMS.
CEMS offers students a Master’s in International Management certificate upon completion of a one-year, postgraduate, pre-experience program delivered by a global alliance of 32...
Students study the CEMS curriculum for one term at their home university, and in a different member school for the second term. Students will be awarded the MPS in Applied Economics and Management from Cornell, as well as the CEMS MiM.
CEMS was founded in 1988—this year is the alliance’s 30th anniversary—by ESADE Business School, HEC Paris, Bocconi University, and the University of Cologne.
It has grown in 30 years to accommodate 32 business schools, covering every continent. CEMS allows only one school per country to be a partner.
The most recent CEMS MiM cohort (2018/19) consists of 1,269 students, over 73 nationalities, and is split 53% female, and 47% male.
CEMS offers an alumni network of 13,187 graduates, made up of 85 nationalities working in over 75 countries around the world.
“We are very pleased to collaborate with CEMS as the first business school in the United States on the launch of the CEMS Master’s in International Management (MiM), says Joe Thomas, interim dean of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business.
Lynn Wooten, dean of Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, says that the partnership ties into the school's global vision of a just, sustainable, and connected world where differences are valued and exchange is encouraged. She also thinks it will have a positive impact for students postgraduation.
“CEMS' program offers corporations the opportunity to recruit another group of unique students with strong global focus and language skills. We expect that this program will have positive impact for overall recruitment at Cornell.”
Students at Cornell who opt for the CEMS MiM will also have access to a wealth of global knowledge. CEMS has partner schools in Europe, the Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East. Before Cornell, Ivey Business School in Canada was the only other partner in North America.
If students of the MPS in Applied Economics and Management are keen to develop their understanding of sustainability, they can dive into Scandinavia’s burgeoning market—Copenhagen Business School, Stockholm School of Economics, and the Norwegian School of Economics are all CEMS partners.
Or, if they are eager to pursue a career in technology and want an understanding of the growing Asian market, they can partake in a CEMS exchange at Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management in Beijing, or the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
Roland Siegers, the executive director of CEMS, believes that the alliance is a significant step forward for Cornell SC Johnson College of Business. It’s an indicator, he adds, that the school spots the growth potential in the Master’s in Management segment of the US business education market.
“We believe that the demand for such degrees will rise within the US,” he says, “as graduates desire to make an impact early in their careers.”
