Master Degree
Global Master of Business Administration 		 
The Global Master of Business Administration (GMBA) is designed for managers and other professionals whose careers and management responsibilities engage them in transnational and global operations. The program focuses on developing international management skills and competencies as well as business and cultural perspectives on major commercial countries and regions of the world.

The curriculum builds on a core of existing international management courses and provides advanced topics on the management of global enterprises. In addition to basic management skills, students gain competencies in designing and managing information systems, global supply chains, and cost-effective sourcing networks for global organizations. Moreover, they gain experience in conducting negotiations and structuring operations through courses that imbed project-oriented study trips to two different major commercial countries. In the capstone course, students integrate the insight from these projects and other coursework into a strategic business plan that embraces operations spanning multi-country operations within or across regions of the world.
This 43-credit program emphasizes business strategy and strategy implementation in the context of the globalizing business environment. Theory and concepts are woven through the curriculum with a heavy emphasis on management application and skill development. Students take nine courses in the Master of International Management (MIM) degree program and conclude with five advanced GMBA courses, including two project-oriented courses involving country study tours and the capstone course.

If they wish, students may complete a MIM track specialization before proceeding to the GMBA courses. In that case, students are not required to complete the MIM end-of-program option, nor do they need to complete IMAN 650 as part of the track.

About this school

  
 
University of Maryland University College - Graduate School  

UMUC offered its first distance education courses in 1972. Today, more than 30 percent of our students are enrolled in courses that do not require on-site class attendance. The Internet serves as their link to the university.

UMUC holds the highest honor given in Web education: the Sloan Consortium Award for Excellence in Institution-Wide Asynchronous Learning Network Programming.

Distance education students use state-of-the-art technology to connect to faculty members, coursemates, and advisors. The great advantage of distance education is that it gives students the flexibility to achieve an appropriate balance of work, family, community, and educational commitments.

UMUC's distance courses link students with their faculty member and coursemates online through the World Wide Web (WebTycho). Online courses are asynchronous, which means that students can sign on and participate at times convenient to them.

Online students need to be prepared to interact with their faculty member and coursemates in writing. Strong reading and writing skills in the English language are critical.

Typical elements of online courses include:

asynchronous, frequent student and faculty participation
lectures and assigned readings (from textbooks and online resources)
individual and group assignments (for example, case studies and discussion questions)
individual and group papers
literature analyses (graduate)
use of online library resources
online (graduate) and proctored (undergraduate) quizzes and examinations

UMUC is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education, Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, (215)662-5606.
