Phoenix, AZ (MMD Newswire) February 23, 2010 - "There is an economic bright spot for developing nations in this recession," said Dr. Donald Burton, Dunlap-Stone University's founder and president. He added "Key indicators show how these countries are taking advantage of it."
Experts suggest that countries not directly involved in the financial crisis are now able to compete in international markets if they have the right tools and knowledge, gaining market share as industrialized nations' industries falter amid credit-tightening and other financial worries. As a result, developing nations are leading the way to an economic recovery. The critical tools needed for economic development in this arena are the skills associated with international trade, says Burton. Dunlap-Stone University's (DSU) business school, the International Import-Export Institute (IIEI), is at the forefront helping countries, companies and individuals take advantage of emerging opportunities presented in the global marketplace. It is renowned for providing the practical skills and knowledge in an accessible, proven delivery system.
For a decade and a half, the IIEI has been providing students considered too distant or remote the opportunity to obtain an excellent U.S. university education. The practical, hands-on knowledge needed to succeed in today's dynamic world of international trade is at the center of the IIEI's online education and training programs.
Unlike many other colleges that offer general programs in international business management, the IIEI degree program focuses on two important aspects of international trade: the development of mangers that understand the practical considerations of global business, and, unique in higher education, practical, detailed knowledge required to manage the movement of goods and services across national boundaries and around the world. "In other words," explains Burton, "the IIEI emphasizes everything related to 'increasing trade' in its international programs." The IIEI attracts students from all corners of the world, and with the help of industry expert instructors, creating a unique learning environment that knows no boundaries, no time zones and no borders. "This is done with one goal in mind: to facilitate trade. Students enter and exit the online classrooms at the hours of their choosing, accessible 24/7, so learning happens as the world turns--in real-time," notes Burton. Students network and form friendships that last long after their courses are over, as they master the movement of goods and services across the globe.
"Dunlap-Stone University has the right programs at the right time to help the world-- one student at a time--to truly become a global marketplace," said Dr. Burton. "It is truly amazing and inspiring," Burton continued, "to see how students take the practical knowledge they learn at DSU and apply it to meet their country's need to increase trade." Speaking before a group of international trade professionals, Dr. Burton noted, "The doorway is now open for all countries to prosper in the global marketplace. All it takes is knowledge and a little support to foster growth of international trade in places never heard of before." He concluded his remarks saying, "Welcome to the 21st century."
DSU is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council. DSU programs meet the same rigorous U.S. Department of Education requirements as do other highly-regarded institutions across America. Within the international trade industry, DSU's worldwide reputation speaks for itself. Employees from many U.S. Fortune 500 companies enroll at DSU. All of the top 100 U.S. aerospace and defense companies routinely enroll employees in DSU's courses that prepare them for one of IIEI Certification's nine international trade certifications.
