GBA STUDENT SPOTLIGHTS
The online Master of Global Business Administration (GBA) program brings together a diverse group of international change-makers who are tackling the seemingly intractable challenges facing our world by using business as a tool to solve problems like climate change, economic inequality, access to healthcare, and more.
We invite you to meet some of our students and explore how their paths have led them to The Fletcher School.
