Abstract	The purpose of the study is to examine business education that aims to prepare students to understand poverty and design sustainable solutions for people living in subsistence in a yearlong course at a Midwestern U.S Land-grant university. I conduct a case study of the course in order to understand the curriculum and pedagogical arrangements and to examine the experiences of the course participants. Theoretically, my project is situated at the intersections of globalization and education studies, capabilities approach, and critical pedagogy. Theoretically informed and empirically grounded, my study offers a more nuanced understanding of pedagogical possibilities to prepare students to understand the conditions of poverty around the world and to contribute to global poverty reduction in the age of globalization.
