GLOBE — Global Learning Opportunities in Business Education
The UNC Kenan-Flagler undergraduate GLOBE program has partnered with the Chinese University of Hong Kong & Copenhagen Business School to launch a new international program. more
Each school is among the very best in its region and each will focus on a different aspect of business education. Students in the program study together at all 3 campuses, learn about international business from expert faculty at each school, gain firsthand exposure to foreign business operations and culture; visit organizations in five different countries, gaining a comprehensive global perspective (locations include Brussels, Berlin, Shanghai, Tokyo, Washington, D.C. and Research Triangle Park, N.C.) Throughout the program, students work in both virtual and face-to-face teams, building networks they can rely on for years to come. Participation in GLOBE is achieved through a competitive application program among BSBA students in their first year in the major.
AIESEC
AIESEC is an international, non-political, student-managed educational association that is comprised of students interested in global economics and management. more
The organization was founded to increase global awareness and cultural understanding, and it strives to achieve this goal through an international internship exchange program and community education projects. Members of AIESEC also have the opportunity to meet and work with CEOs of major corporations, as well as to gain practical, hands-on training in marketing, networking, communications, management and fund raising.
American Studies 277 — Nation and National Identity in an Age of Globalization
American Studies 277, developed through a CIBER global course development grant by professor Robert Allen in UNC's American Studies department, gives students a chance to explore what it means to be and to be perceived as "an American" in the world today. more
Topics covered are: the rise of the nation state; the United States as a case instance of the modern nation state; nationalism; colonialism; globalization; various modalities of trans-national travel; contemporary challenges/complications to the notion of the nation state; changing geographies of place in a globalized world; the influence of American culture abroad; and the roots, expression, and implications of anti-Americanism.
This course is of special benefit to students planning to study abroad, those studying at UNC as international exchange students, American Studies majors/minors, and those who anticipate working/living outside the United States after graduation.
