The paper explores the outcomes of development of global mindset in international management students in multicultural learning environment. A comparative analysis was conducted within four international programs, all of which offer international management education in English language for local and international students. The study applies the concepts of cultural knowledge development, global mindset and cosmopolitanism.  It presents a typology model of four cultural learning approaches the students are likely to take in their cultural learning and the triggers for such learning. It also provides tentative recommendations for the steps that higher educational institutions (HEIs) and international organizations can take to promote cross-cultural exchange, cultural knowledge creation and individual and organizational global mindset development.
