The Beedie School of Business is partnering with three other universities to offer a new master of business administration program for international executives beginning this August.

The two-year program, Americas MBA for Executives, will accept up to 60 students enrolled at all four universities to study management issues and attend classes in each of the four largest economies in the Americas. “This is an exciting initiative that addresses head-on those areas that will define business in the 21st century,” says Daniel Shapiro, dean of the Beedie School of Business. The other three schools participating are FIA Business School, Fundação Instituto De Administração, São Paulo, Brazil; ITAM, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, Mexico City, Mexico; Vanderbilt University, Owen Graduate School of Management, Nashville, Tenn., U.S.  For more information: http://at.sfu.ca/GTVZfK.
