Global Management Certificate

Effective Date: 11 April 2007

Overview

The Global Management Center sponsors the Global Management Certificate to prepare students to work in international business. Pursuit of the certificate is open to all Marriott School students. The requirements of the certificate are listed by the student's degree.

The certificate is designed to educate students in a foreign business language, give students exposure to international business in a variety of disciplines, and allow them to participate in an international experience. The Marriott School currently sponsors eleven different business language courses: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English (for non-native English speakers), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Other language options are available to students who do not speak any of the sponsored business languages.

Students desiring to participate in the Global Management Certificate program can apply online.

Students who successfully complete all requirements will be awarded a special certificate at a reception sponsored by the Global Management Center and the Marriott School. While Brigham Young University does not recognize the Global Management Certificate program as a college minor, it is the equivalent of a minor in international business. Students will also be able to market themselves to prospective international business employers by listing this accomplishment on their résumé. In addition, the international courses, business language, and international experience will provide students with an excellent foundation to work in international business.
