The first MBA International Seminar was offered in 1992 to the Executive MBA students. The purpose was to provide students the opportunity to experience another culture and enhance their understanding of global business. In 1992, the students traveled to Amsterdam and Brussels and met with officials from the European Union to hear about the formation of Europe '92. Since that inaugural trip, the MBA Program has arranged international trips to all corners of the globe, including Australia, South America, China, Korea, and many European countries. The MBA trip has grown from one trip per year to three planned trips in 2008 to accommodate student demand. Exposure to senior-level executives in national and multi-national corporations takes the learning experience to a greater dimension. Students have had opportunity to meet executives from Alcatel-Lucent, BMW, Leo Burnett, McDonalds, and Siemens, to name of few.
