The dynamic business environment requires professionals trained to identify global trends and skilled in approaching modern global dilemmas with cultural sensitivity and specific knowledge of the regions of the world where they work.

With this in mind, the International Management program is designed to include language and culture training related to a country or region of specific interest to you alongside the coursework in international business that would strengthen your managerial capacity as moral business leaders who make a difference in the global arena.
