The Strategy and Global Management major draws on core courses in the Asper School to build insight into successful cross cultural and cross functional leadership.
The Strategy and Global Management major prepares you to:
- motivate and engage a diverse workforce
- navigate organizational power and politics
- manage organizational change
- negotiate
- resolve conflicts, and make decisions effectively
- lead sustainable, responsible, and ethical organizations.
Strategy and Global Management is an ideal major in combination with any of the functional majors at Asper. The skills learned in a Strategy and Global Management major will equip you to more effectively analyze, advocate, lead and manage.
Choosing a major
In the Asper Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) program, students typically choose a major at the beginning of their third year. Each student must declare at least one major and present a minimum Degree Grade Point Average of 2.00.
It is important to make sure you are following the correct program requirements for your chosen major. The best way to do this is to email an Asper program advisor or call the Asper Help Line at 204-474-6388.

Direct entry applicants are those who have not attended a post-secondary institution or have completed fewer than 24 credit hours at a recognized university or college.
Advanced entry applicants are those who have completed one year (24 credit hours) or more of studies in another faculty at the University of Manitoba or another recognized post-secondary institution.
Asper also gives individual consideration to students who meet some requirements for admission but may not have academically competitive marks because of reasons beyond their control.
