The Global MBA is a unique degree designed to prepare working professionals for a career in the dynamic world of global business. The program is focused on developing global leaders who are able to address problems and take advantage of opportunities in the global marketplace. The program is offered jointly with the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, Germany and the T.A. Pai Management Institute in Bangalore, India. Students from each campus participate as a cohort in this 20-month program, which begins in Oshkosh every July. Two-week onsite classes at each campus are required; the remainder of the courses also are required but are completed online. One-third of the curriculum is taught by faculty at each university.
