The Global and Cultural Organizational (GL) studies concentration focuses on cultural diversity and organizational relationships within and between local companies and the international community. These courses include international seminars in which students study for one to two weeks in countries such as Panama, Sweden, Italy, and France. The Global and Cultural Organization track may be appropriate for those who work in or are affiliated with a global organization, those who are planning to establish business relationships outside North America (including outsourcing), and those interested in the effects of global culture, economics, politics, and communication on organizational enterprises. Global and Cultural Organizational courses also examine how global interests are influenced by local cultural framing.
