The Global Managemetnt minor is designed to help students build cross-cultural analysis and communication skills to make them more effective workplace participants, regardless of their professsional aspirations.  The skills learned in the GM minor are particularly useful for those pursuing a non-BBA major who are looking to add a business perspective to their degree.

Students in the GM minor complete International Trade (IB 350 or its equivalent), Organizational Behavior (MAN 336, or MAN 320F if a non-BBA student), Foundations of International Relations and Global Studies (IRG 320F), and a Capstone Course in Global Management (IB 337D).  GM students also complete an international experience (study abroad or internship) of at least 5 weeks before taking IB 337D.

Students who are required to take the pre-requisitie as part of their major  are required to take it before completing the course.  However, students not pursuing a BBA degree do not have to take BA 324 in order to take MAN 336, and studnets not pursuing an IRG major do not have to take IRG 301 before taking IRG 320F.  

Students should contact CGB at centerforglobalbusiness@mccombs.utexas.edu prior to completing their international experinece to ensure that it will satisfy the requirement for the minor. 

MAN 137C and 237D (or IB 137C and 237D) have been replace with a single capstone course: IB 337D.  This course is offered only in the spring, and is to be taken after the international experience.  Once this course is completed, both 137C and 237D will be marked as complete on your degree audit.

IN IB 337D students use break down their international experience to learn cultural analysis tools that will help them adapt to and succeed in an international setting.  The class is small and involves a significant amount of group work, so come ready to learn! 

Students who are majoring under the 2018-2020 catalog may need to complete the Global Management certificate in lieu of the minor.  The Certificate has the same requirements as the minor, but also requires an additional 3 hours of economics and 3 hours of area studies coursework.  Students should speak to their academic advisor with questions about which credential is appropriate for them.
