The past decade witnessed one of history’s most successful stock market runs – followed by one of its most devastating declines. What caused this incredible rise and major fall?

Launching your own company isn’t for everyone.

Research your market, work up a template to put your plan into action, and let your inner entrepreneur take command.

Barristers & Bobbies – UK Law

In many cultures around the world, including the United States, British procedure is at the heart of laws and law enforcement. In this course, you’ll follow the legal process, from writing laws in the House of Lords and Commons to the bobbies and barristers charged with law enforcement, defense and prosecution. Take a closer look at the history of the British legal system and learn how the American judicial system developed as a result. If you want a better understanding of Western legal legacy,
this class should be court ordered!

How do advertisers and marketers determine the best way to influence consumers? What campaigns are the most effective? What new trends is technology creating? If you’re planning on influencing others through advertising, public relations or marketing, understanding these concepts will be essential. Get a head start!

MI-5: Counter-Terrorism & Intelligence

We all know how Jason Bourne and James Bond get things done. How much of what we see on the screen goes on in the real world? Are intelligence agents all athletic action and secret gizmos? Maybe more of their time is really spent digging through files in dusty offices. The truth is probably somewhere between movie exaggerations and the belief that it’s all just boring bureaucracy. Your mission should you
choose to accept it? Learn the truth!

European Sports Marketing

Europeans take their love of sports and sports stars to a level that can surprise even the most rabid U.S. fan! What’s the world’s most popular sport? Soccer, of course (but please call it football), and EVERYONE in Europe has a favorite team. Whether they win or lose has a huge impact on societal morale, and that’s just one sport! Why is this connection to sports so strong? Why do die-hard fans drop everything to follow their teams around the world? Get answers to these questions and immerse yourself in the intense energy that is sports obsession in Europe, from great players like David Beckham to incredible tournaments like the World Cup to the fierce pride of Olympic competition.
