J.P. Vicente, GMAP09, United States and Brazil
"In an ever globalizing world, a deep understanding of international affairs is an essential tool for any public, private or non-profit professional to be truly competitive in today’s economic environment. GMAP helped me tremendously in that regard. Its rigorous curriculum provides a wide-angle view of global issues, allowing students to interpret them from multiple—yet key—facets, such as political, economic and legal. The faculty bolstered the debate with both theory and practical exercises, which allowed us to quickly apply the learned concepts to “real-world” situations. Back in the business world, I can unequivocally say that I utilize what I learned in GMAP on a daily basis, from everyday negotiations, budget development, and general management to planning for growth opportunities abroad."
