Weigh an Online Master's Program to Study International Business

Ed Galasso may be 67 years old, but he has no plans to stop working completely. The South Carolina resident, who describes himself as semi-retired, owns a telecommunications consulting firm, and he just recently earned an online international MBA from Southern New Hampshire University.For Galasso, the decision to enroll in a program with an international focus made sense. "Given the scope of business today – and the telecommunications industry, which I happen to be in – it's global," he says.The idea of studying cultures, governments and economies around the world also appealed to him, he adds.In addition to an online MBA focusing on international business, there are other program options for learning how to conduct business on a global scale. For instance, Colorado State University—Global Campus offers a fully online master's degree in international management, as well as an online master's degree in management with a global management specialization.
