At UCLA Anderson, CIBER sponsors Winter and Spring quarter language for professional purposes classes. Both Mandarin and Spanish for business are taught and offered to MBA students as a two-credit elective. A combination of first and second-year students enroll in the courses, with a beginners course in each language offered in the winter and an intermediate follow-up course offered in the spring. The goal is to help students understand and gain knowledge of grammar fundamentals and basic phrases to assist in business context as well as to imbue an appreciation for each respective culture.
