Global Business Certificate

Global certificate participants

The globalization of the marketplace demands employees who can successfully compete in a multicultural business environment in the United States and around the world. Understanding the significant cultural, economic, and political differences between countries and regions is vital to success in international business.

To develop these competencies, the Leeds School of Business offers the Global Business Certificate to its students. Students who graduate with the certificate will receive a teal and black cord.
