The global management major enables students to develop expertise in the management of people, processes, and policies in a global context.

• People – Enhancing and developing competencies to manage people across national and cultural boundaries.
• Processes – Integrating knowledge development, product procurement, manufacturing, and distribution for a global supply chain.
• Policies – Managing internal and external environments such as globally-dispersed stakeholders, corporate governance, and cross-border regulations.

A deep understanding of these interrelated areas, complemented by a concentration in a business function and a focused choice of arts and sciences courses, is critical for those who seek to add value to the firms of tomorrow.

Starting with the core material of traditional management theory and practice, the Global Management Major adds knowledge of global policy, economics, regulations, and operations. The integrated, forward-looking “people, process, policy model” provides students with an advantage in competing for attractive internships and full-time positions in multinational firms.
