As globalization continues to impact the way the world lives and works, international experiences have become vital to success in every field of business, especially business entrepreneurship.
Global Education programs can provide exposure to global startups and how different countries approach entrepreneurship. Through international study and internships, students can gain valuable skills employers are looking for: communication and interpersonal skills, flexibility, motivation, and a real-life perspective on business applications worldwide. International experience will help students learn to identify global market trends and opportunities and strategically execute innovative entrepreneurial solutions that will ignite change and make an impact. Participation in a Global Education program contributes to this by enabling students to improve their interpersonal and language skills while broadening their understandings of international business practices.
The W. P. Carey School of Business recommends these programs for students majoring in business entrepreneurship.
Graduates may follow multiple self-directed paths such as starting a new venture or nonprofit organization, working for a new venture or a small business, or working as an innovative leader within an existing organization.
