Global Business Studies, BS
The Global Business Program offers a multidisciplinary approach in business studies including economics, finance, marketing, management, and logistics. Students will analyze the strategies and operations of transnational business organizations and evaluate their effects on business performance. Additionally, students will be able to assess the impact of the global environment (economic, financial, political, regulatory, technological, social and cultural) on individuals, institutions, businesses, economies, and societies.
In our economics, finance, and global business programs, students learn in-demand skills that employers have identified as critical for job candidates, including:
-Understanding the main tools of policies for markets and government
-Using data and statistical tools to carry out economics and financial projects
-Understanding the main instruments, rules, and strategies of finance and financial planning
-Ability to assess the impact of the global environment (economic, financial, political, regulatory, technological, social, and cultural) on institutions, businesses, economies, and societies
Students in economics, finance, and global business study in small classes, taught by faculty with significant industry experience who are recognized experts in their fields. They also gain real-world experience through internships, mentoring, and other professional enrichment activities. Business students also benefit from the sophisticated resources in the Cotsakos College of Business, including the Global Business and Finance Institute, an active trading room that brings the world financial markets to campus. For students looking to enter careers in investment advice or wealth management, our financial planning degree program allows graduates to sit for the CFP® exam. Our students benefit from William Paterson University’s strong ties to professional organizations like the Financial Planning Association and numerous employers including brokerage firms and registered investment advisory firms.
