It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

As businesses become increasingly global, matters of public policy and international law become mingled with the field. A bachelor of science degree in global business and public policy may provide the training necessary to understand the dynamics of international business and the policies that affect them. Of utmost importance is the understanding of general business knowledge along with the economics, both large and small scale, that underpin it. Students may learn organizational and management principles that define how various businesses and organizations run their activities. The processes by which international finance, law, and cultural differences shape and define global business are paramount to a sound understanding of the issues involved. Business ethics and morality are also important subjects that could be analyzed for their impact on the attitudes behind various matters of public policy and business decisions.

Graduates in the field of public policy and global business may be suited to undertake careers in politics or government that involve lobbying and the shaping of policy. International law is another area where graduates of the program could have an advantage in the workforce. An understanding of good business principles along with the techniques to convince others regarding important issues could be essential assets for a career in marketing. Anywhere that business meets public policy could provide a good opportunity for graduates including many non-profit organizations and government agencies.
