And, as is true with all our business programs, you will delve into the ethics behind good business practice, as we firmly believe that character development is critical to forming trustworthy leaders.
Upon graduating, you will be prepared for a professional career or for graduate training in business or other areas. Our graduates have gone on to earn their MBAs, start their own companies, and become successful executives in all sectors of business.
