Global Leadership Institute*

Executive Training

The Global Leadership Institute (GLI) is a graduate-level, executive education program. Since 1989, GLI has served as an executive training program for mid-career professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and experience in various aspects of international affairs including politics, public policy, management, and economics. Participants also have the opportunity to learn English or other languages of countries located in the Pacific region. Professional tours are offered throughout the quarter, thereby allowing GLI Fellows the opportunity to see industry-related operations firsthand in a cross-section of public and private sector organizations. The duration of each participant’s program may range from one quarter (eleven weeks) up to two years. For international applicants, in addition to participating under the Exchange Visitor (J) Visa program as a short-term Fellow enrolled in courses, GLI also hosts research scholars exclusively interested in gaining access to UCSD’s extensive resources. Both working professionals and graduate students in study abroad programs may opt for either Exchange Visitor (J) Visa category. GLI also offers customized courses in a variety of disciplines for organizations sending a group of professionals in a specialized field; these courses can be integrated with regularly scheduled course work during the academic quarter. Custom group programs ranging in duration from one day to two months are also available. A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of a GLI program.

GLI offers:

  • An individualized program leading to a Certificate of Study
  • An optional summer English program preceding the academic year
  • Opportunities to interact with world-renowned Pacific Rim faculty and policymakers
  • Special seminars and lectures by academics and professionals
  • IR/PS-sponsored cultural events and field trips to local, state, and national organizations and government offices

*Formerly International Career Associates Program (ICAP)
