The forces of globalization and technological change have created a highly competitive and dynamic business world where mergers and acquisitions are increasingly used to seek competitive advantage and maximize value for shareholders. Treating M&A as a strategic capability can give companies an edge that their peers will struggle to replicate.

The International Mergers and Acquisitions (IM&A) Certificate Program gives you a unique end-to-end understanding of M&A, blending academic theory with real-world insights. Constructed by leading faculty members and M&A industry experts, the IM&A training provides an invaluable foundation for choosing the right acquisition, excelling at cross-functional due diligence, getting the valuation right, implementing a smooth post merger integration, and more. Gaining the IM&A designation signals to employers, colleagues, and clients that you are invested in being the best M&A professional you can be.
