Innovations that slow the effects of climate change or applications that capture the societal benefits of technological change require the ability to leverage the distinctive advantages of business.
From sustainability to pandemic preparedness to economic resiliency, contemporary global challenges can’t be solved by the government or civil society alone. Study International Business at Fletcher and uncover solutions within the private sector.
The International Business field of study is designed for MALD and MGA students to develop theoretical and applied analytical frameworks applicable to decision-making in firms in a wide range of industries, from consulting and technology to financial services. Prepare for a career in the private or public sector, and apply business principles for high-level decision making, resource allocation, and broad impact.
We take the foundations from business – whether that’s finance, accounting, marketing, strategy, or leadership – and we take it to the next level. We ask how this can be used for improving society.
It’s not just about accumulating wealth for ourselves or for business itself – it’s about improving society. That’s the big shift, and that’s the ultimate responsibility of business that I think Fletcher is uniquely positioned to offer.

Offshore wind has this very close tie between the engineering problems and the policy problems. You've got these questions about our physical limitations in where we can and can't move energy, where would it be most advantageous to do upgrades to minimize cost and maximize benefit. Meanwhile, you're running into policy questions of whose jurisdiction this is, what the process looks like right now, and how we can make the entire process more efficient. I’m excited to be in this place that has such a close tie between the engineering and the policy.
