They came from the first academic institution in the Spanish-speaking world to specialize in business administration for graduate students.<\/p>\n
Twenty-four graduate business students from Peru\u2019s Escuela de Administraci\u00f3n de Negocios para Graduados (ESAN), a partner in the Chapman Graduate School\u2019s Dual Degree network, participated in an \u201cIntroduction to International Business\u201d module at Florida International University (FIU).<\/p>\n \u201cProfessors from FIU as well as guest lecturers covered topics including global business strategy, supply chain management, international banking, management and more,\u201d said Victoria Partridge Serrano<\/strong>, program coordinator, Executive and Professional Education (EPE) in the College of Business Administration. EPE hosted the non-credit program, which took place from September 27 to October 1, 2010.<\/p>\n The residency included visits to the Port of Miami, WTDC Logistics and Distribution Center and the Net Access Point of the Americas (NAP).<\/p>\n \u201cThese on-site presentations and tours gave the students exposure to different aspects of international business and a chance to learn about operations,\u201d Partridge said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe visit to NAP helped me understand how opportunities are identified to expand the infrastructure and how NAP interacts with investors and sponsors for the implementation of new projects worldwide,\u201d participant Zulma Quispe Anaya said.<\/p>\n A similar program for students from Universidad Externado de Colombia will begin November 15.<\/p>\n Peruvians gain positive impressions of FIU. <\/em><\/p>\n For many of the ESAN students, it was their first visit to the United States. For all, it was a chance to be introduced to FIU.<\/p>\n \u201cThese people are about to finish their graduate degrees in Peru and may be interested in pursuing further studies at FIU,\u201d Partridge said.<\/p>\n<\/a>
