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.
