About this course

Understanding Globalization and International Management for your UoPeople credit.

What is Globalization and International Management?

Globalization and International Management looks at how businesses operate across countries and why managing them is different from managing a company that only works in one market. It covers topics like global competition, international strategy, culture, trade rules, outsourcing, and how managers lead teams made up of people from different backgrounds and locations.

How the course teaches you

Globalization and International Management is a 3-credit course with a fixed assessment structure: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. In practice, that means you work through the course material, complete the graded components, and finish with a transcripted result that University of the People can review for transfer. At UoPeople, that transcript credit is recognized as BUS 3305 – International Business, a named course equivalency in the catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds the kind of international business awareness that matters in roles where people, markets, and rules cross borders. For UoPeople students in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, that recognition can help keep degree progress aligned with a broader business curriculum. It is useful when you need to understand global competition, culture, trade rules, and international decision-making in a practical setting.

Skills you walk away with

Analyzing global business environmentsComparing international market entry strategiesEvaluating competitive forces in global marketsApplying intercultural communication skillsManaging virtual teams and projectsInterpreting trade, regulation, and political risksUsing international marketing concepts in real cases

Taking this course toward UoPeople

After you finish, the transcript is sent for review and University of the People evaluates it as part of your transfer record. UoPeople’s registrar applies the named equivalency BUS 3305 – International Business when the course matches, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition because it maps to a specific catalog course. That can help you place the credit directly into your degree plan instead of leaving it as an unspecified elective. Keep in mind that UoPeople allows up to 90 transferred credits, or 75% of a degree, so the course should be planned within that ceiling.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want transfer credit that connects directly to UoPeople’s BUS 3305 – International Business requirement and who are planning within the 90-credit transfer limit. It may suit working adults, degree completers, or students changing direction who want a course with a clear named equivalency rather than a general elective. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course outside business or who is already at the point where additional transfer credit would exceed UoPeople’s 75% maximum.
