International Scholars Program

The transition to the working world has become even more competitive than you have heard, and college graduates are taking longer to find jobs that meet their credentials.  In fact, many graduates have accepted lower income jobs just to pay the bills.  To get the jobs best suited for them, college graduates need that edge which will differentiate them and catch the attention of prospective employers.  You have set the path for your career, but now you need to start building that career, and we at Rensselaer have the perfect program to help you do that.  It is the International Scholars Program, a one-year accelerated master’s degree program which includes a ten-week summer semester abroad.  With this program you will earn:

• A master’s degree in Management or Information Technology completed just within a year
• Experience working with global project teams and top European and Asian corporations
• The competitive advantage you need to jump-start your career

The Rensselaer International Scholar will earn a master’s degree in either Management or Information Technology, with global emphasis on trade, innovation, security, and competiveness.  Forty percent of your degree will be completed through the ten-week summer semester abroad, which will take you to Rome and Shanghai, immersing you in those cities while providing an intense learning experience centered around their business and economic cultures.  You will meet and be taught by world leaders in industry and visit major corporations in both cities.  Also, you will be part of a project team, gaining first-hand understanding of global business and advanced technology. 

What a fantastic way to differentiate yourself from other graduates!  You will have participated in this amazing ten-week-abroad experience, which begins with a transatlantic cruise aboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2.  You will also have completed a master’s degree at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute – one of the world’s top 50 universities and a leader in technology and technology management – a university that the Kaplan-Newsweek College Guide refers to as “One of the New Ivies.”    

This exceptional opportunity will provide you with a competitive edge, international experience, and networking relationships with European and Asian corporations, as well as a one-year master’s degree from Rensselaer, everything you need to begin your career and distinguish yourself from other graduates.  Call one of our program managers at 860-548-5600 to ask any questions you may have and to obtain further information.  Don’t wait! – This program will fill up quickly.
