What Is the Global Classroom Experience?

As a GLC member, you’ll be enrolled in dedicated sections of BUSN 101 and BUSN 102 alongside fellow GLC students, giving you a smaller class size and a built-in cohort from day one.

Our Global Classroom courses create a conduit between you and our partner universities abroad through interactive technology, so you can have an international and intercultural experience without ever leaving campus. Current partners include the University of Leeds (UK), the Berlin School of Economics and Law (Germany) and institutions in the Netherlands and Vietnam.

Through Global Classrooms, you’ll collaborate with international peers on real projects — from co-developing a six-minute business pitch to working through a UK-based simulation covering financial statements and cross-currency decision-making. Dedicated class time is built in for cross-university collaboration, and your professors provide guidance throughout to help your team connect, divide work and deliver results.

What to expect:

• Smaller class sizes with a dedicated GLC cohort
• Faculty-guided collaboration across time zones and cultures
• Virtual collaboration with students at partner universities across the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Vietnam
• Real team projects, including business pitches and financial simulations
• Built-in class time to connect with your international partners
