The undergraduate concentration in global management allows students the opportunity to prepare for managing in an age dominated by global concerns. It is especially valuable when combined with another concentration in management and a careful selection of courses from the liberal arts which focus on other countries and cultures. It is recommended that global management not be a primary concentration. Many students will also be able to complete the program in East Asian and Management Studies and/or the International Studies Certificate while completing the concentration.
Students in this track have 2 options. Option One is to complete 3 IBUS courses above the 211 level from the School of Management. Option two* is to complete 2 IBUS courses above the 211 level and one course from a list of SOM-faculty approved liberal arts courses applicable to the global management concentration. This list, which varies from semester, is available from the SOM Advising Office.
*Note: if Global Management is your primary concentration, you must choose Option One.
