Are you interested in trade across borders? Do you want to be at the forefront of emerging markets? This undergraduate program will help you on your way to a high-demand career in international trade.
Description
▲
International trade is increasingly important in this globalized economy, but also increasingly challenging. The International Monetary Fund predicts that most of the world's economic growth in the next decade will take place in the largest emerging markets, which are not always easy for companies and nonprofit organizations to penetrate. Most of the world's consumers are outside the United States. Given these trends, organizations across sectors that operate in multiple countries are increasingly in need of managers who understand the complexities of the global economy.
The undergraduate certificate program in international trade provides students with an understanding of foreign markets and the intricacies of international trade, laying the foundation for a career that can take them anywhere in the world.
Thunderbird School of Global Management has produced unique leaders for more than 70 years --- leaders in every sector capable of tackling the world's greatest challenges. Home to the BGM and BS in international trade, the school's innovative and practical curriculum complements a strong core of global business management skills, international political economy study and cross-cultural training with a transdisciplinary approach. The alumni network has over 45,000 graduates across 170 chapters around the globe.
The certificate in international trade requires 18 credit hours as outlined below, with a minimum of 12 upper-division credits. Students are encouraged to take courses that develop breadth within their sector rather than limiting their selection to courses in one particular subject area.
Required Courses -- 6 credit hours
It is recommended that students take TGM 101 prior to or concurrently with other TGM courses.
Electives -- 12 credit hours
Prerequisite courses may be needed in order to complete the requirements of this certificate.

Program learning outcomes▲
Program learning outcomes identify what a student will learn or be able to do upon completion of their program. This program has the following program outcomes:
- Demonstrate enhanced ability to think analytically in a global context.
- Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of at least one region of the world.

Graduates who combined the certificate in international trade with their major program of study may be more marketable to employers.

Advanced degrees or certifications may be required for academic or clinical positions.
What are accelerated programs?
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and
how to apply.
What are concurrent programs?
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.

Students pursuing concurrent degrees earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. ASU offers students two ways to earn concurrent degrees: by choosing a predetermined combination or creating their own combination. Predetermined combinations have a single admissions application and one easy to follow major map. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor. Either way, concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests.
Concurrent degree programs are specially designed academic programs which provide high-achieving undergraduate students the opportunity to complete two distinct but complementary bachelor degrees at the same time. Students must meet minimum admissions standards for both programs and be accepted individually by both colleges offering the concurrent program.
