 Highly recommended USC IBEARfor every CDers,
 
 I highly recommended USC Marshall’s IBEAR programfor the experienced applicants, especially for those who had strong career achievements.
 
 As we know, USCand its MARSHALL have excellent academic reputation. The IBEAR program
 was launched 30 years ago while other universities did not pay attention to
 international business education. Second, IBEAR’s project-based teaching method could lead the students to
 cultivate skills to solve problems in the real business world. Third, IBEAR’s students profile with 8 – 10 years
 working experiences can contribute more in class than other business
 schools’ student profile with 2 – 4 years working experience. Fourth, the various profiles of students
 from Pan-Pacific area can expand students’ personal network. Moreover, compared
 with the 2-year-program of other business schools, IBEAR’s 1–year-program won’t intermit my career too
 long. Finally, it’s much easier to find the jobs in Los Angles because of the LA’s diversified racial
 inhabitants and abound Asian migrants.
 
 I truly hope more excellent CDers applied for USCps. USC IBEAR's introduction:IBEAR next year. I also expect the one who also got the admission of USC IBEAR
 can contact me if you read this post.
