The Role of the Center for Global Business
Downtown Dallas 
If the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex were a nation, its gross domestic product would rank 21st in the world. In 2005, DFW's GDP reached $290 billion, commanding one-third of Texas' GDP. Total world trade in DFW reached $50 billion in 2005, a 67% increase since 2001. Situated at the crossroads of NAFTA traffic, global business in DFW will increase by leaps and bounds in the years to come. This leaves no doubt that DFW deserves the advantages offered by a world-class center of excellence in global business.
The Center for Global Business aspires to play this role. We draw on the UT Dallas School of Management's strong commitment to global business, as evidenced by programs at both the graduate and executive levels. No other school in Texas and few in the nation have this kind of commitment toward global business. We also leverage the expertise of our award-winning faculty, work to strengthen our excellent ties with the corporate community, and integrate global business resources not only at UT Dallas but also at the regional and state levels.
