A world community is rapidly developing with new technological advances continuously working to bind countries together in an interdependent global economy. Telecommunications networks link businesses in different parts of the world; combined transportation systems efficiently move raw materials from one country to manufacturing facilities in a different hemisphere. Finished products are delivered to other markets, while financial transactions once requiring weeks to accomplish take place in the blink of an eye. Events in one part of the world dramatically affect business and the way of life in another. This is the world of global logistics and transportation.
To prepare future leaders for this dynamic industry a comprehensive academic program capable of reacting to the educational demands of today’s international arena is essential. The Global Logistics and Transportation program at the College of Charleston School of Business and Economics realizes the importance of developing business professionals who can function effectively in the world community.
Faculty are sharing personal experiences on national and international business levels and presenting a curriculum that is continuously refined to reflect the rapidly changing trends in the business world. The school strives to prepare students who are not only adept at conducting business in a global market place, but are also comfortable dealing with people of different cultures.
