Certificate in Global Business Administration

The transition to a truly global business environment requires the development of specific skills and competencies. The Certificate in Global Business Administration (CGBA) was conceived and designed to guide the executive in their personal transformation. Beginning with the first few moments of class, each participant involved with the CGBA will be immersed into the world of international business with access to the best and the most recent strategies and frameworks to prepare them to occupy the challenging leadership role required in global business.

THE CGBA is composed of seven modules consisting of 96 classroom hours spread over seven months. The classes will be taught by both Thunderbird and IPL professors from various cultural backgrounds. The objective of the program is to deepen the experience of the participants in this international exchange. Also included in the program is a four-day module where the Brazilian executives will travel to the Thunderbird campus in Arizona to focus on Global Mindset, Global Strategy and Global Marketing.
