    About St. George’s University:
    In 1977, St. George’s University (www.sgu.edu) opened its doors on the
    lovely island nation of Grenada (http://www.grenadagrenadines.com) in
    the West Indies with a medical program that was the first of its kind in
    the world. Beyond our innovative curricular offerings, St. George’s
    University is noted for the internationalism of its community, the
    faculty and students who are from 90 countries. Within the School of
    Arts & Sciences, the Department of Business offers six business degrees:
    BS/ International Business
    BS/ Accounting
    BS/ Economics/Finance
    BS/ Management
    BS/ Hospitality Management
    BS/ Marketing

    The Department of Business mission is to deliver first-class education
    that will enable our students to become successful business
    practitioners. We aim to develop a reputation for offering a
    contemporary education in business which caters to the diverse needs of
    a growing student population. We strive to develop in our students a
    global orientation, an entrepreneurial attitude, and a sense of
    responsibility and service to the community. We offer a student-friendly
    internationally diverse environment that allows our students the chance
    to experience many cultures within the campus environs. We are
    positioned as the only institution in the Caribbean that strives to meet
    the most rigorous international standards while still offering small
    class sizes and accessible faculty.

    Key features of the business degree programs include the mandatory
    foreign languages component, the business internships and the core
    curriculum which is geared to develop proficiency in all aspects of
    business. In the era of globalization, foreign language proficiency is
    a critical tool for business success. The business internship, which
    can be done domestically, regionally or internationally allows the
    student to gain practical experience in his/her chosen career. It also
    enables the student to gain confidence in his/her skills, while
    establishing valuable contacts and acquiring work experience for future
    endeavors. The core curriculum features accounting, finance, ethics,
    quantitative skills, international business, economics, business
    communications, business law, marketing, organizational behavior,
    strategic management and operations management.
