MGB gets international ed award

The Master of Global Business (MGB) program at the UVic’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business has received the Outstanding Program Award from the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE).

Students in the one-year program, offered since 2010 by the Sardul S. Gill Graduate School, work and live on three continents as they study international business practices, develop leadership skills and learn at least one new language. The current year’s cohorts will soon leave Victoria for Rouen, France, and Seoul, Korea; or Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and Linz, Austria. The program prepares students to launch their careers with global knowledge both deep and wide, with real-world experience and some proficiency in another language. It also helps them develop the confidence to deal with the ambiguity and complexity of today’s global business environment. The prestigious award validates peer recognition of creativity and high quality in international education. CBIE represents about 200 Canadian educational institutions dedicated to international education.
