• Develop students’ analytical and decision-making skills through a mix of theoretical and applied approaches including lectures, discussion groups, individual research projects, team projects and casework, as well as comprehensive field projects.
• Enhance students’ team and communication skills, which are needed to succeed in careers and management.
