The Global Commerce major prepares students for the realities of commerce and exchange in the 21st century.
The way that work is done in the 21st century is constantly changing. There is no single set of data, information, or technical skills today’s undergraduates can master that will carry them through the coming decades of their careers. It’s critical to be able to navigate rapid change by recognizing what is happening, asking good questions, communicating effectively with teammates and colleagues, thinking through possible consequences, and adapting to evolving circumstances. Our majors’ combination of critical thinking, communication, and applied professional skills prepares them to navigate through uncertainty to success.
From the most local farmer or small-town business to a fully global corporation or NGO, all commerce today is connected to global dynamics and involves a wide variety of stakeholders. Global Commerce majors can look at the big picture to identify how a local venture is connected to the global economy, what challenges those connections pose, and how those challenges can be addressed to achieve success.
