Faris Kamal, an Austrian-Jordanian undergraduate student at Webster, gave us some insight as to how his courses build his global perspective. “The case studies, readings, and examples in most classes have an international scope, allowing you to learn about and experience how business is done all over the world,” he said. Faris is in the second year of his Management major with an emphasis on International Business.
