Our Mission

Today's business executives cannot treat the global market as a luxury item; the global market is more crucial to business success than ever. The Global Management Center provides the global education and training necessary for Marriott School undergraduate and graduate students to take on the global market. The Global Management Center is designated by the U.S. Department of Education as one of the nation's 31 Centers for International Business Education and Research. As a CIBER, the Global Management Center works to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise.

  • The Global Management Center provides the following resources:
  • Innovative global business curriculum design
  • Faculty development programs and exchanges
  • Outreach to the business community
  • Financial support for original research
  • Programs to internationalize domestic students

Since 2002 the Global Management Center has made strides in global business research, education, and outreach. The center works toward internationalizing the Marriott School. This is accomplished by providing resources, training, and professional development for three inter-dependent groups: the students, faculty, and business community.
