Over one week, students meet with local companies, government authorities, and academic institutions, experiencing first-hand the culture and businesses practices of another economy. The International Study Trip brings the themes discussed in class to life and gives a new perspective on the socio-economic and business conditions of countries around the world.

In the past, International Study Trips have explored major hubs in China, India, Singapore and Vietnam. In 2010, students from the Part Time Program traveled to Japan.

Hear what our students have to say about the 2008 China trip:

“The China Trip in the scope of the MBA program was an extremely rewarding experience that clearly exceeded my expectations. Primarily, this trip provided me access to China socio-economic and business conditions and a unique opportunity for me to get close to the Chinese culture. It also allowed me to visit Chinese companies as well as to understand how international companies see the Chinese market. Another important advantage of this trip was the great diversity of participants' backgrounds. During the trip, I had the opportunity to learn and exchange experiences with professors, class mates and alumni as well as to discuss several subjects and to analyze different points of view. One of the most inspiring and value added experience at the MBA program was the China trip, which gave me the opportunity to build new and meaningful personal and working relationships.”
