In the Global Career Tour, students can experience the field of various companies around the world and meet people who work as global businessmen to learn how to build careers. It is also a program that can grow a lot in terms of culture by experiencing various countries such as USA, Singapore, and China, Hong Kong. These programs are a chance to encourage students to dream of advancing to the global stage.

Exchange Student Program

Scholarships are provided to all students to support this. With this program, we are providing opportunities in which students can experience cultures of other countries, form perspectives that would allow them to view own country more objectively.

Dual Degree Program

Students who have completed the Global Business Administration curriculum until the end of their second year can earn, after two more years of study at the Kelley School of Business, a bachelor’s in dual degree program both from our university and from Indiana University. Since our department signed a dual degree agreement with Kelley School of Business in 2008, we have been sending selected students who want to study there. In case of a dual degree, all the expenses including tuition at Indiana University and the cost of living must be borne by the individual student, while tuition at Sungkyunkwan University is fully supported by scholarship. Through this, we can secure our identity and an alumni network both at Sungkyunkwan University in Korea and at one of Big Ten Schools in the United States. There are also some advantages that students have a possibility of getting a job in the United States.

- Event

JOB GBA

‘JOB GBA’ is a career event to be held once or twice every semester. We invite many alumni who are currently working in the field and hold briefing sessions on new topics such as how to write a resume, strategies for getting hired at large conglomerates and getting a job at foreign companies. The most recent ‘JOB GBA’ took the theme of conglomerates in which students were able to learn more about the detailed tasks of large companies (strategy, planning/sales, marketing/personnel, and finance). The alumni shared time to introduce their jobs first, and then we had networking time to listen to specific and diverse experiences.

GBA Speaker Series

The department runs a guest lecture series in which experts are invited from various fields each semester to give a talk on their experience and advice in each field. On average, four special lectures are held each semester, and executives and experts in various fields of society are invited to give a talk, so that students can listen to their stories of practical experiences and advice on future careers.

Industry-academic cooperation contest/project

In industry-academic cooperation with various companies, students present various opinions and ideas on the topics disclosed by the company. The contest(project) was held for about 1~2 month, followed by Kick-Off Meeting, application for preliminary round, announcement of the candidates for the finals, interim feedback, and final announcement. Through the contest(project), students cultivate practical competencies based on what they learned in university. In addition, they learn presentation skills, and cooperate with their team members to produce good results.

The Night of GBA

At the end of each year, a year-end networking event is held for Global Business Administration alumni. Participants are students, the alumni and professors including Dean, Vice-Dean, and Department Chair of Global Business Administration. And they are actively networking with one another in the event. The alumni who play an active role in local conglomerates or leading overseas companies have time of networking and mentoring with current students. Moreover, students have time to get advice from professors about academic life and careers.
