You’ll have the opportunity to explore business management theory and apply your new knowledge through practical applications across a variety of organizational categories, providing ideal preparation for launching your international career.
According to Barbara Kelly, Chair of Conestoga’s School of Business and Hospitality: “Global Business Management will prepare degree or /diploma holders from any academic discipline as well as individuals with significant industry experience to work in a wide range of business areas and achieve recognized industry credentials.

Students in Global Business Management are encouraged to become members in professional associations and complete the industry exams to achieve recognized international credentials.
The program features small-group learning under the supervision of outstanding faculty members who have first-hand experience working internationally or with global organizations. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in numerous simulation exercises to gain practical experience and build your skills. Courses are offered in the late afternoon and evening - no prerequisite courses or previous business experience is required.
