Global Management

Global management issues are integrated throughout the curriculum, featured in the required second year course "Governance in a Global Environment," and emphasized in several elective courses that focus on global management.

Students interested in Global Management should combine the courses below with one or more areas of interest (Accounting; Entrepreneurship; Finance; Human Resources; Marketing; Operations, Analysis and Systems; and Public and Not-for-Profit Management). Combining an international interest with another area is recommended because the career track for most international managers involves working for a company in a functional area before receiving an international assignment.

The elective courses listed below are recommended for students interested in International Management.
