“It is important for today’s professionals to have an understanding of international business practices, as they serve as a standard, while being respectful of local customs and value systems. Building relationships on trust among business partners by making ethical decisions is the foundation to building and operating a successful global business.”

Elevate Your Leadership Without Interrupting Your Life

The best online MBA programs deliver everything an on-campus MBA has to offer, plus the added flexibility of online learning. The WSU Carson College of Business delivers the same caliber of coursework and expert faculty that you’d get on campus, but from your home, office, favorite coffee shop, or an Air Force base 7,000 miles from home. You’ll also have full access to the Cougar MBA community throughout the nation and around the world. That way you can build the network to propel you to the leadership job you’ve always wanted, and the corner office that comes with it.

“I took a strategy and leadership course and it changed my outlook on how I approached my work. It helped me apply principles to certain situations and become more effective in completing my work and working with others. And perhaps it will help others see me in a different light that can help me advance.”

“The military taught us to go out and utilize concepts, not just memorize things. And that’s the great thing about Washington State—it’s not about rote memorization. The educational experience is fully based on your ability to use the concepts you’re taught—to integrate and articulate those concepts in your business environment.”
