Turn Your Business Knowledge Into Real-World Experience
Build the practical skills global managers need to lead people, projects, and operations in today’s competitive business environment. Start with a solid foundation in core management principles, then deepen your understanding through case studies and site visits to Southern California companies and other professional settings. In your second quarter, a required professional development course will help you strengthen your communication, workplace readiness, and industry awareness as you prepare for the internship you’ll complete in your final quarter. You’ll finish the program by applying what you’ve learned in a hands-on internship with a U.S. organization.
