Dear Prospective International Business Certificate Seekers:
It is with a great deal of pride and excitement that Virginia Commonwealth University is again offering its International Business Certificate Program. This 2009 program represents the 12th year that this highly anticipated certificate has been undertaken and offered to those individuals that seek knowledge and opportunity in the international business arena.
If you desire to prepare yourself and your career for the dynamics of global business, if you want to enhance your options in the world of international commerce, or if you simple want to learn more about the markets and sources of goods and services outside of the U.S. (where 96% of the world’s population resides) then this once a year program may be right for you.
Please take a moment to look over the information provided about the VCU IBC Program 2009 and see it may be what you are looking for to enhance and diversity your career. If so, I recommend that you move quickly to register for the program as enrollment is limited.
