MBA/Master of Global Policy Studies
The MBA/Master of Global Policy Studies program responds to an increased need in both the public and private sectors for specialists with an advanced understanding of the global environment, governance within and among countries and companies, and cross-cultural challenges and opportunities. The program emphasizes practical knowledge, including hands-on connections to industry and government, and offers graduates the opportunity to earn a clear competitive advantage over other applicants for jobs in the global economy who have only a traditional business or policy degree.
Students spend their first year in the program taking Global Policy Studies core courses and the second year taking MBA core courses. The third year is a combination of both disciplines.
