UVA MS Global Commerce

Hello All,

I was wondering what you guys thought about the new UVA MS in Global Commerce program?

The basic premise of the program is it is a year long and you spend 15 weeks on UVA's main campus, 9 weeks in Lingnan University in China, and 15 weeks at ESADE in Spain. (I know that is only 39 weeks and I said a year-- there are some breaks in between)

The program is for Business undergrads only.

UVA's coursework will focus on "Global Strategic Management".
Lingnan's coursework will focus on "Global Financing & Operations"
ESADE's coursework will focus on "Global Innovations & Alliances"

The class starting in Fall 2016 will be the inaugural class.

I am a Finance undergrad major from a non-target school. I have two corporate finance internships, one at a small firm and another at a top 10 fortune 500 company. I am looking to break into consulting and would like to target Deloitte Strategy & Operations level work. Do you guys think this program could help lead to that type of job placement?

 

It's new. It's targeted to internationals. You study in VA, China and Spain I believe. I think it's a good program for Chinese students who are ok with working in China. The issue is a lot of these programs limit internationals because it's harder for them to get jobs. But it's a lot of good students to turn away. Hence the creation of these programs.
