SAN DIEGO, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bridgepoint Education,
Inc. (NYSE:BPI), a provider of post-secondary education services
focused on providing higher access to higher education, announced
today that University of the Rockies, a graduate school
specializing in psychology programs at the master's and doctoral
levels, will offer a new specialization in International Leadership
for its students working toward a Master of Arts in Psychology or a
Doctor of Psychology degree. Graduates with this specialization
will be positioned to pursue such careers as: International
Operations Manager, General Manager of Operations in a foreign
country, senior level Human Resources positions in multinational
corporations, International Business Development Manager or
Executive, Director or Manager of Expatriate Human Resources, and
Foreign Government Liaison. "This new specialization in
International Leadership responds to the rapid expansion of
organizations, businesses, and markets to a global dimension," said
Dr. Stephen Kirkpatrick, dean of the School of Organizational
Leadership for University of the Rockies. "The globalization of
markets around the world has made the production of many goods and
services multinational, instead of regionally-specific. This
program prepares students to understand the cultural, political and
diplomatic issues involved when any business or organization
strives to succeed across international boundaries." The
specialization in International Leadership is currently available
online and on-campus through University of the Rockies. It is not
intended to prepare students for licensure as professional
counselors, and does not lead to licensure. Students should check
applicable laws in the state in which they reside and work to
determine requirements for licensure. About University of the
