Due to this reason, there has been an increased demand for bilingual business talents. In order to aid the transformation of businesses, educating talents with a global economic perspective, competitive edge in business English as well as global business management and trade knowledge has become the key to the success of a business. Therefore, Wenzao put together a team of professional teachers from the Departments of English and International Business Administration, and established the Bachelor Degree Program of International Business English. The program includes school-required classes, program-required courses and elective professional courses.
