(ATLANTA, September 24, 2007) Golden Key International Honour Society announces a partnership with the University of South Carolina's Moore School of Business. This relationship extends one International MBA Fellowship exclusively to Golden Key members applying to the program. The Moore School of Business is extending one $20,000 Fellowship to a Golden Key member who is accepted into the International MBA (IMBA) program.
The IMBA program at the Moore School of Business offers a cutting-edge graduate business education that prepares students for today's global environment. The Moore School of Business believes that one cannot fully understand global business by reading a book. Global business must be experienced in order to be understood. As part of the IMBA program, all students live and breathe the business culture of another country, an experience that prepares them for life as a global manager. No matter where they will work in the future, in the United States or in another country, they will be able to think and act globally. For over 17 consecutive years, the international business graduate programs have been ranked either 1st or 2nd by U.S. News & World Report in its annual survey of "America's Best Graduate Schools."
Reena Lichtenfeld, Director of Graduate Admissions, said, "The Moore School of Business is thrilled to partner with Golden Key International Honour Society. The best and the brightest students in the world who are members of the organization will now have the opportunity to earn their International MBA degree and we are delighted to offer the fellowship opportunity to members. Golden Key's 30 years of attracting high-caliber students is a perfect marriage with the Moore School's 30-plus years of delivering unparalleled international business education and experience."
Students within the program have the opportunity to select either a language track or global track. Students selecting a language track program combine their business education with intensive language training in one of eight tongues: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese or Spanish. In addition to language training, students will have an internship in a country that speaks the language they have studied. Global track students will have an internship in a country matching their language capabilities. International students in the global track will have the opportunity to have their internship in the United States. After internships are completed, students in both the language and global tracks return to the Moore School of Business in Columbia, South Carolina, to continue their business education.
"Golden Key seeks to connect our high-achieving student members with outstanding experiences around the globe which prepare them for even greater future success," said Alex Perwich, Golden Key Chief Executive Officer. "This partnership provides members with an enriching international education and career focused experience."
