In the Fall semester of 2006 Baruch College launched a series of certificate programs designed to give participants a competitive advantage in the many industries in our region that are engaged in importing and exporting. At the same time, these programs will help companies upgrade the skills of their employees to better serve global customers and meet evolving security and compliance requirements in a post 9/11 world.
Students can take core courses that provide a solid base for careers in
international trade as well as more advanced programs that provide deeper knowledge in areas of particular interest.
