Courses

An understanding of global issues is an important foundation for our students as the shift to global scale continues to accelerate. Global courses are found in both the core MBA program and as electives recognized through the Global Management Program, an academic option within the MBA and Sloan programs.

Students in the MBA or Sloan programs can earn a Certificate in Global Management. This certificate demonstrates a student's preparedness to be a global manager. The list of International Courses approved for certificate credit is posted at the program's Web site. Course Listings

Congratulations!
