All of the students in this first class of the program work in management at U.S. or global companies in China, according to the university. Some of the companies involved include Wal-Mart, Dillard's, Kimberly-Clark and Proctor & Gamble.
A story by the Associated Press said that:
The program will last 17 months and expose students to topics like retailing, consumer products, shopping behavior, and logistics.
