Why This Degree?
"There are very few graduate programs in the country that focus on global leadership with particular emphasis on the humanistic and cross-cultural competency of those leaders. The skills that these students will develop, both in the classroom and in the field (which is also quite unique), are vital as economies and companies become more and more interconnected in our global environment."
— Denise Luethge, Ph.D., professor of management at Northern Kentucky University, and joint researcher at Doshisha University's Institute for Technology, Enterprise and Competitiveness (ITEC) in Kyoto, Japan.
