Coursework from across business disciplines is used to enhance students' awareness of the differences and similarities in business conduct around the globe. Typical topics of study include the formulation of global strategy, understanding and reporting global transactions, issues in trade, finance and currency, marketing across geographic boundaries and developing and coordinating global supply chains.

The Global Business program offered by The University of Vermont complements coursework in broader areas such as economic development, regional business environments, and/or management, marketing, trade, and finance. The student will be encouraged to combine business courses with supplemental coursework in related international subjects such as language, history, politics, and culture. Students are highly encouraged to study abroad and obtain minimum competency levels in a second language to add to their understanding of global business.
