Center for Global Business

The Albers Center for Global Business is an engine by which we permeate interest and generate involvement with global business issues. It is a platform to showcase our global focus and leverage our competencies to provide superior education to our students and conduct research on critical issues with respect to international trade and global competitiveness, with outreach to businesses and policy makers as well as academics.

Program Focus

The Albers Center for Global Business focuses on the development of programs that:

  • Support faculty and student internationalization-curriculum development, study and teaching abroad, research that creates new knowledge on which scholars, students, and business practitioners can build.
  • Provide assistance to the small and medium-sized business community in Washington and the wider Western region, as practitioners encounter the challenges of international business.
  • Enable support to regional faculty from smaller schools, in the state of Washington, that have far fewer international resources and opportunities for professional development.
  • Reach beyond the academic and business environments to collaborate with and educate other publics regarding the significance of the global environment.
  • Initiate and develop interdisciplinary, collaborative programs that explore global issues.

  • The business community, as it faces the challenges of a global economy, and economic policymakers.
