Career Tracks

GLI Certificate Program Requirements

Each Fellow follows a program of study tailored to his or her interests under the guidance of the program’s academic advisors. A Fellow must complete at least three courses per academic quarter, taken on a pass/no pass basis, with the option of a letter grade, to receive a certificate of recognition. Since GLI is a graduate-level certificate (non-degree) program in the School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS), the Master of Pacific International Affairs (MPIA) courses offered each quarter serve as the primary curriculum in which to enroll. Fellows enrolled at GLI one academic year (or longer) may receive a certificate of recognition “with honors” by passing a minimum of one MPIA course per quarter.

International Management

Includes intermediate and advanced courses similar to those offered in MBA programs in such areas as corporate finance, accounting, production and operations management, and international marketing, as well as courses dealing with international business activities such as project analysis and planning, trade, and risk analysis.

Public Policy

Develops tools and comparative perspectives to analyze and evaluate public policies. The curriculum combines case study and applied courses with theoretical and analytical tools.

International Politics

Emphasizes the political, military, and economic determinants of the global environment, as well as explanations for the foreign policies of particular countries. Attention is also given to the Pacific region as an international subsystem.

International Development and Nonprofit Management

Offers students critical knowledge and skills needed for work in the development and nonprofit sectors as managers, technical staff, and consultants. Students explore current issues and strategies related to development and nonprofit management. Includes hands-on experience through summer internships in NGOs or development agencies, and case study preparation of an issue facing a nonprofit organization.

International Environmental Policy

Extends the application of concepts and methods from economics, political science, management science, and international law to the complex and contentious environmental challenges that managers, analysts, and advocates in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors face. Teaches students to identify core economic and political issues, to evaluate the tradeoffs associated with potential policy responses, and to formulate strategies for bringing about policy change.

International Economics

Develops expertise in specific areas of international economic policy: managing exchange rates, setting fiscal and monetary policy, regulating multinational enterprises, negotiating trade agreements, adjusting to global economic shocks, and forecasting economic variables.

Country and Regional Study

Provides an option for students who wish to concentrate their studies more intensively on a single region or country. Combines the rigorous IR/PS training in economics and politics with in-depth work on the region of student’s choice.

Self Design

Requirements: by petition; any three of required courses from other tracks in consultation with faculty advisor; another three electives in consultation with faculty advisor.

“GLI offers short-term, customized group programs to meet a variety of internationally focused needs and interests. Each program is structured to provide the desired combination of coursework (focusing on topics that are relevant to each group’s educational goals); professional tours (presentations on location at U.S. organizations that parallel the industries represented by the participants); and cultural tours (experience firsthand the culture, sights, and residents of one of the most beautiful cities in the world).

Custom, group programs may differ in length from one day to two weeks or more. Pricing will vary based on the number of instructional contact hours and professional tours requested as well as the extent that GLI is involved in organizing all other aspects of the program, including cultural activities, housing, meals, and transportation.”
