The aims of the Khazar University are directly related to the need to train specialists who would help Azerbaijan in their transition to a market economy. The chancellor predicted early on that there would be a need to equip and train graduates who would work rebuild Azerbaijan's economy and integrate Azerbaijan into the global economy. Azerbaijan youth, sensing new opportunities, would be attracted to professions that would support private, entrepreneurial and commercial activity. One survey of Azerbaijani youth conducted by the Center of Strategic and Intemational Studies in Baku in the spring of 1996 found that 59% of non-student youth and 70% of students surveyed in another well known private university wanted to work in private enterprises or their own enterprise (CSIS Magazine, 1996).
