As part of the undergraduate program at the Grossman School of Business, the global business theme complements coursework in broader areas such as economic development, regional business environments, and/or management, marketing, trade, and finance. Coursework from across business disciplines is used to enhance students' awareness of the differences and similarities in business conduct around the globe. Typical topics of study include the formulation of global strategy, understanding and reporting global transactions, issues in trade, finance and currency, marketing across geographic boundaries and developing and coordinating global supply chains.

Students are encouraged to combine business courses with supplemental coursework in related international subjects such as language, history, politics, and culture. Students are highly encouraged to study abroad and obtain minimum competency levels in a second language to add to their understanding of global business.

Possible Career Paths Following a Global Business Theme
