Executives with global experience are among the most in-demand.
(E. White, Wall Street Journal, p. B6. January 25, 2005.
International experiences enhance opportunities for future employment. Many companies and particularly government agencies desire graduates that comprehend the global economy in which we are living.
With regard to America's import/export trade, it is more important than ever for our graduates to understand opportunities for exporting agricultural products.
Ports (such as Mobile), Departments of Ag and Industries, US Customs, and other agencies charged with issues of Homeland Security need graduates who can function with a global mindset.
