Experience one of the world’s fastest-growing markets

The European Union single market today accounts for 22.5 million small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) and 450 million customers, which makes the EU a major trade partner in the United States and a hub for international investment and entrepreneurial opportunity. The Global Business Affairs EU Certificate program places you in the center of this exciting growth. 

This certificate program covers the range of knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career in international business, with a focus on the European Union and the Pan European market. You’ll learn the principles of the European business environment, from management and finance to law and economics. You’ll put these principles to practice during an International Business Immersion in an EU country, or an International Consulting Project with the Central European Institute, and explore other career-enhancing and extracurricular activities such as seminars, cultural events and company visits. With the program’s robust networking component, you’ll regularly engage with a mentor and participate in meetings of the various business membership organizations, making lasting professional contacts while immersing yourself in the history of contemporary Europe and of global entrepreneurship.

Interested students are encouraged to apply as early as their first year. This program presents a unique opportunity for all students in the School of Business. It is particularly attractive for those in our 3+1 programs because it satisfies the study abroad requirement in a focused and meaningful way. The certificate also complements other majors, including engineering, public relations, game design and cybersecurity.
