As globalization continues to impact the way people live and work, international experiences have become vital to success, especially in global leadership. Through international study and internships, students can gain valuable skills that employers are looking for: communication and interpersonal skills, flexibility, motivation and a real-life perspective on business applications worldwide. Through their courses, students become versed in cultural sensitivity and awareness, understanding and bridging cultural divides, and leveraging diversity for business gains. In applying these lessons through international experiences, students become more competitive and prepared global leaders. A Global Education program contributes to students' success by enabling them to improve their interpersonal and language skills while they broaden their understandings of international business practices.
The W. P. Carey School of Business recommends these programs for students majoring in global leadership.
A degree that incorporates solid business skills and global studies helps prepare students for employment in the global business world. Qualified students have opportunities to work either domestically or internationally in an international organization. This degree program augments the business and leadership skills necessary in most corporations.
