The Bachelor of Arts in Global Business Management program blends a liberal arts and international business management education to prepare future professionals for work in business, government, and non-profit organizations in an increasingly global environment.
The program includes a pre-approved option to spend a semester in either Cyprus or Milan, typically during the third year. The capstone project, completed during the final semester, is a culmination of previous work and focuses on strategic objectives for international expansion.
