The Bachelor of Global Management program offers two tracks: the international business, language, and culture track, for which two years of foreign language are required, and the international business and culture track, which has no foreign language requirement and places greater emphasis on management-related courses. Students who select the foreign language track may complete coursework in a variety of languages. The international business, language, and culture track is offered to on-campus students only, while online students may pursue only the international business and culture track.
Everyone in the program has the opportunity to explore the politics, cultures, and economics of different countries around the world while applying the skills they have learned in practical settings through a required international internship. Although students are strongly encouraged to pursue internships outside their home country, they can satisfy this requirement by completing a local internship with an international component.
Students often choose to apply their electives toward a minor or certificate offered by another department, allowing them to specialize in a second area of interest that complements their major. Electives may include areas such as communications, cybersecurity, data analytics, digital media, languages, nonprofit leadership, political science, psychology, public relations, risk management, sales and marketing, and sustainability. Information about minors and certificates can be found in Degree Search.
Students also complete a senior capstone project that draws on the skills they have developed throughout the program. In the capstone project, students work together in consulting teams to provide recommendations for a global organization facing an international challenge. The internship and the capstone project enable students to demonstrate their skills and work experience to potential employers as part of their professional development plan.
