Certificate in Global Business

The globalization of the marketplace has created a need for managers who can function effectively in the international business environment. Despite this movement toward globalization, there remain significant environmental differences (cultural, economic and political) between countries andor regions. Managers in an international business must be sensitive to these differences and also must adopt the appropriate policies and strategies for dealing with them.To address these issues, the Leeds School of Business offers an area of application in international business consisting of 15 credit hours. Students completing additional requirements may earn a certificate in international business. The certificate program builds on the students' understanding of the functional areas of business and provides them with an appreciation of the international environment. It also supplies them with a framework for developing policies and strategies appropriate for the global marketplace.

The certificate in global business is available only to business majors. To earn the certificate, students must complete a minimum of 15 credit hours and a global experience.
