New International Business Emphasis Approved
A recent press release announced that “Senior managers at such majors as PepsiCo, Pfizer, Credit Suisse, and UPS regularly comment on the significant shortage of ‘global trade literate,’ culturally-sensitive managers. Those with such skills are in high demand, and firms are concerned that such talent is not being developed in sufficient numbers. Concordia’s new International Business Emphasis (IBE) meets this need in preparing students for global careers.” Read more.
