Global Commerce Track

We’ve designed the Global Commerce Track, a course of study spanning multiple concentration areas, to provide students with a broad and interdisciplinary understanding of the global business environment, an in-depth regional perspective, and an appreciation of the challenges and opportunities facing a wide array of commercial enterprises operating within these interrelated environments.

Eligibility

This track is open to all Commerce students whose academic requirements allow them the flexibility to take the required 12 credit hours. Courses used to satisfy concentration requirements may also be counted toward track requirements. We strongly encourage students to complete a study-abroad experience while enrolled at the University of Virginia.
