CGB Thought Leadership

Each semester, CGB shares expert perspectives on current issues in international business through its virtual speaker events. Our Spring 2025 lineup featured insights into FCPA enforcement changes, new trade realities, global mobility, and healthcare across borders.

The International Business Major
The International Business Major, our flagship degree program, offers McCombs students critical knowledge and skills for leading in the global environment--now and in the future. IB majors gain hands-on experience in global dynamics and problem-solving through international coursework, real-world application, and studying or interning abroad.

The International Business Minors
CGB’s goal is to increase access to international business education for all UT students. We offer three minors in international business that complement any course of study by providing a global perspective on current issues in business. Students from diverse programs can tailor their coursework to their specific areas of interest.
