What is a Global Management and Finance Degree?

The BS in Business Administration—Global Management and Finance program prepares students for work in domestic or foreign-based companies involved in international trade or finance. Emphasizing the impact of national cultures in shaping values, behaviors, and business practices, students apply critical thinking to evaluate global financial issues related to currency fluctuations, exchange rate risk, and multinational investment and capital budgeting.

Whether you want to be a global sales manager, a cross-cultural customer relations specialist, or an international entrepreneur, a global management degree from Florida Tech gives you a strong background in business and a valuable skillset in global financial management, cross-cultural management, and global macroeconomics.

The Nathan M. Bisk College of Business Delivers an International Perspective

Students learn alongside their international peers both on-campus and through virtual teams, bringing together students from around the globe using cloud and web technologies. Students have an opportunity to study abroad, take advantage of international internships, and participate in a postgraduate business practicum to jumpstart their careers. Florida Tech’s global management program students also enjoy a global experience as they interact with a diverse student population, 30% of whom come from more than 100 countries around the world. They benefit from small class sizes, working closely with high-quality faculty who have expertise in various international business disciplines such as economics, accounting, management, finance, and marketing. And they participate in innovative class projects such as the X-Culture project.

Global management program students hone their finance and international business skills through competitions, including:

• Strategic Management Intercollegiate Case Competition
• Cadillac Case Competition, where Florida Tech students placed fourth among 53 universities
• ANGA Collegiate Energy Challenge
• Honda CRZ Social Marketing Challenge
• Florida National Guard Promotion Challenge

There are also many opportunities for hands-on learning, particularly through our Center for Entrepreneurship and New Business Development, which focuses on entrepreneurial education, global innovation, and practical research in pursuit of new venture creation, sustainability, social value creation, and venture acceleration; and our Center for Ethics and Leadership, which promotes the practice of ethical behavior and effective leadership by engaging in activities that provide a forum for research, discussion, and a better understanding of ethics and leadership among all stakeholders in society. Key initiatives in the global management program include an ethics and leadership breakfast, an intercollegiate ethics competition, a leadership conference, and projects about corporate social responsibility.

Located in the Heart of Florida’s High-Tech Corridor

Florida Tech is the perfect place for a Global Management and Finance degree. The 130-acre campus is located on the Space Coast (so named because of the presence of NASA and the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral just north of us), minutes away from the Indian River Lagoon, the most diverse estuary in North America.

The area has the fifth-largest high-tech workforce in the country, with more than 5,000 high-tech corporations and government and military organizations located nearby. This workforce also provides an abundance of internship and employment opportunities.

Florida Tech is just over the causeway from the Atlantic Ocean with its 72 miles of beautiful beaches, and a short trip to the Florida Keys or the Orlando theme parks. We also have a rich campus life that includes a wide range of intramural and collegiate sports, clubs, and social activities.

Build Lasting Professional Relationships through Campus Organizations

Beyond the classroom, global management degree majors develop leadership experience through participation in academic organizations like the Society for the Advancement of Management, the International Business Club, student government, and over 100 other student organizations.

The business honor society Delta Mu Delta helps students make connections nationally and internationally as they prepare to enter a global job market. Delta Mu Delta also helps develop academic excellence in business students. The Florida Tech Entrepreneur Club also allows students to meet with local entrepreneurs to learn more about business firsthand and exchange creative ideas.

The Internationalizing Campus Committee was established to integrate international perspectives into the university's academic experience. As a business student in the global management program, you can contribute your unique point of view to this ongoing process.

It All Started With 37 Cents

Florida Tech was founded in 1958 as "Brevard Engineering College." It all started as an idea in the mind of Jerome P. Keuper, a visionary physicist working at Cape Canaveral.

As university lore would have it, Keuper expressed his desire to create a scientific and technological university to a friend over drinks at a local pub. Overhearing the conversation, a fellow patron pushed 37 cents in change across the bar and said, “There’s your first donation, Jerry. Now, go and build that college.”

So, Keuper did. And what started with 37 cents as a night school for the early “missilemen” of the U.S. space program is now a comprehensive national research university recognized worldwide for excellence in preparing students for careers of the future.
