Dear Friend of the CBA:
This year, we announced our new slogan, Leadership for the Global Marketplace, and take great pride in the many initiatives we have completed to prepare our students to work in the global economy. This issue of Inside Business has many examples of how our faculty, students and alumni are living this new brand.
For example, for the third year in a row, San Diego State University has ranked in the top 10 of U.S. News & World Report for International Business (IB).This year for the first time ever, our graduate IB program entered the rankings at #21.
As a part of our commitment to academic excellence and the global marketplace, our college has recently added two new MBA programs:
- The Global Entrepreneurship MBA will provide students with the opportunity to study in San Diego, China, India and the Middle East. They will learn firsthand from executives from our corporate partners: QUALCOMM, Invitrogen, Microsoft, Intel and KPMG.
- SDSU and Gallup University have combined their expertise to develop a new MBA for Executives in Life Sciences. It was designed to prepare individuals to effectively lead healthcare product development and regulatory approval, while accelerating the time to market, decreasing costs, and bringing tangible benefits to patients worldwide.
Our recognized centers are unique, yet each supports our global focus:
- SDSU’s Center for International Business Education and Research was among the first in the country and is one of only 31 nationwide. SDSU CIBER has been named a national center of excellence every year since 1989 by the U.S. Department of Education.
- Our Entrepreneurial Management Center works with the Beyster Institute’s Middle East Entrepreneur Training program to teach business executives not only how to be entrepreneurs, but how to globalize their companies.
- The Corporate Governance Institute is dedicated to the study and application of responsible corporate governance principles worldwide.
- The Family Business Forum has expanded its reach to conduct workshops internationally.
Uniquely situated on the border with Mexico and the Pacific Rim, our college will continue to play a pivotal role in preparing students to work internationally. Thanks to the commitment of everyone who is a part of our College, we are being recognized for our hard work and incredible accomplishments. I encourage you to stay connected with us to find out about all the great things happening at SDSU.
Sincerely,
Gail K. Naughton
