      * Program Requirements

        The option in international management is designed to help students develop an understanding of the distinctive problems that arise in international business and to develop strategic decision-making skills in relation to those problems. Students also have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in a particular area of international management.

        Compulsory courses study the global business environment, including general concepts and international institutional framework, as well as the development and implementation of policies and strategies by multinational corporations. Students should note that these concepts are examined from the perspective of Canadian corporations. Students also have the opportunity to begin learning a third language (other than English and French).

        Students in the International Management option must complete at least 12 of the 120-unit program requirement abroad as part of an international exchange with one of the Telfer School of Management's international partner institutions.

        This program is offered in English and in French. Students are encouraged to learn a third language.

        Co-operative education is available with this program.

        The French immersion stream is available with this program.

      Requirements for this program have been modified. Please consult the 2021-2022 calendars for the previous requirements.
