The classes are chocked full of real case studies and very entertaining. * Catherine L. Forment, Vice President – Florida Bank

As a person coming into the class not knowing much about Brazil, I’ve gotten plenty of information on Brazil and International Marketing. I also learned how to lay the groundwork for my new company. The resources that were made available were really good. I am ready to begin work on my Marketing Plan. * Lucious Lee, President – Lucious Lee, Inc.
