The certificate consists of four courses of over 24 hours of classroom instruction and includes a professional working text and supplements designed to help guide a business into the world market.  The courses are taught by experts and leading professional practitioners and will involve developing an international business plan, lectures, case studies, computer lab study, and hands-on practical experience.
