The Global MBA is career focused from day one as evident in the two 1-credit introductory courses, Introduction to Global Business and Effective Career Planning. Outside the classroom, the Global MBA offers a variety of professional development workshops and social and cultural activities.

Concentrate in International Finance or International Marketing

Global MBAs sharpen their career focus by selecting an in-depth functional skill set in either international finance or international marketing .
