Although there is an underlying universality to the basic principles of business, the application of these principles presents unique challenges to those involved in international business. The Global Business Academy is designed to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of global business. In the program, you’ll explore current drivers of international business including the globalization of business linking markets, companies, and financial markets; the growth and importance of technology; and the emergence of national economies with a particular focus on China, India, Brazil, Africa, and the Middle East. You’ll also examine institutions important in international business including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization.
Georgetown's Global Business Academy introduces you to the ins and outs of the business world. Combining investment challenges and group presentations with dynamic faculty lectures and case studies, our program prepares you with the practical skills and critical thinking abilities that will benefit you in your future academic and professional endeavors

The program offers so much–from the off-site visits to the daily lectures and the on campus activities. The lectures were interesting, meeting new people was great and the off-site visits were interactive and intriguing.
