Abstract

In the present paper the authors exemplify the connections among the undergraduate studies, continuing education and professional enhancement on the foundations required by Romania’s integration in EU’s structures. The study was directed to the senior undergraduate students and master degree students from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Babeş-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, using questionnaires in a collaborative approach, and processing the collected data by data mining clustering techniques, graphical and percentage representations, through Weka’s implemented algorithms.
