MIAMI, Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- At a time when employment projections for new college graduates are referred to as "under normal levels," Miami's St. Thomas University is addressing the needs of a growing Hispanic student segment with Latin American and Asian trade interests. "International visitors positively affect South Florida's hotel and tourism sectors and buyers from Brazil are helping the retail sector," says School of Business Dean Jose Antonio (Tony) Villamil, a member of the Daily Business Review Advisory Board. "Consumers will have to 'get back to basics' however and universities need to address future opportunities of a global economy. That is why St. Thomas has been enhancing its curricula to enable graduate students to gain an in-depth perspective on Latin America opportunities."

STU Master in International Business has an exclusive international focus and is designed to enable graduates to land employment positions of managerial responsibility in global corporations. "An international business core of 18 credit hours provides students a unique global perspective yet they do not face the quantitative requirements characteristic of similar degrees," says Marivi Prado, Chief Marketing Officer, [email protected]. "The Master of Science in Management program, for instance, features an international specialization yet behavioral science is the focus, whether in criminal justice, international business or public administration."

St. Thomas University is taking graduate enrollment applications now and at the February 17 Graduate Open House, to be held on campus from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. For further information and for online enrollment please visit www.stu.edu or write to [email protected].
