Globalization
The
understanding
of, and ability
to function
effectively
in, a global
economy is a
prerequisite
for anyone seeking
a successful
business career
in the 21st
century. The
Donahue School's
MBA program
offers a required "Global
Economy" course
to help students
understand the
global dimensions
and ramifications
of business. "Global
Economy" provides
a macro view
that lays the
foundation for
exploring globalization
issues in other
required and
elective courses.
Distinguished
faculty who
have spent time
in countries
and cultures
throughout the
world serve
as invaluable
resources. In
addition, for
those looking
to focus even
more closely
on global and
international
topics, various
opportunities
for internships
and study abroad
experiences are
available to full-time
and part-time
students. 
Robert Sroufe,
Ph.D., holder of the Murrin Chair in
Global Competitiveness, conducts research
in environmental
management, technology
integration and global manufacturing.
He
is shown here in front of Duquesne’s
cogeneration plant,
an example of sustainable
technology, which produces
electricity as
well as heating and cooling for the campus.
