Recently you received a message describing the Master's of Pacific International Affairs Program (MPIA) at the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS) at the University of California, San Diego.

Due to the overwhelming response, we thought that you would also be interested in learning about our executive program. The International Career Associates Program (ICAP) is a certificate program designed especially for business executives and government officials who desire to immerse themselves in course work focused on Pacific Rim issues for one academic year.

The ICAP program has been honored to host a large number of respected participants from government ministries and corporations from countries such as Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, Spain, Russia, Costa Rica, and Vietnam. ICAP participants have a unique opportunity not only to study American business culture and English, but also choose from graduate level courses in international economics, politics, and management with the fields' top professors. Their exposure is further enhanced by participation in study tours to visit with businesses and government agencies in San Diego, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Washington D.C. They also form friendships and strengthen ties with other Pacific Rim leaders of the present and the future.

If you are interested in the ICAP program and would like to learn the many ways in which this program will benefit your particular organization, please contact us at (858) 534-7420 or visit our website at http://www-irps.ucsd.edu/icap.html.
