Bachelor in Global Management

Start-Up, Work and Lead in a Globalized World

Global Management students gain knowledge in theory, practice, and imagination through experiential activities in our classes. They develop business plans for startups or nonprofits with peers, compete for funding, and implement their ideas in their home countries or locally.

Courses in the major draw on economics, politics, mathematics, management, and organizational psychology. The major, within the framework of an Earlham liberal arts education, support the development of critical and analytical thinking, written and oral communication skills, and an interest in contributing positively to the world.

Our faculty have work experience in a variety of countries and advanced academic degrees. We regularly involve learners in our research.

Standardized Test Scores

Standardized test scores are required of all international applicants.

If English is not your primary language, you must submit an English Proficiency exam and meet the required criteria. You may also submit an SAT or ACT score to enhance your competitiveness for admission and for scholarship consideration.

If English is your primary language, you may submit your SAT or ACT scores instead of an English Proficiency exam.

Current accepted tests and minimum required scores are:

While we understand the many issues present in standardized testing, Earlham’s current registration with SEVIS requires compliance with these test score requirements. SEVIS is the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System used by the Department of State on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security (in other words, important US governmental agencies). Therefore, the International Student Advisers must use test scores to substantiate academic preparedness and English proficiency when preparing an I-20 (the document needed to apply for a student visa) for an admitted student.
