During the summer between the first and second year of the Executive M.B.A. program, students are required to complete 3 credit hours of independent study.
One option for completing the 3 credit-hour requirement is an international trip. The purpose of the trip is to offer students an opportunity to better understand business in a global environment. Students will make visits to companies, governmental units, and/or university lectures and seminars.
Some past visits have included: Jaguar, Coca-Cola, Fosters Breweries, American Embassies, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Motorola, Heineken, U.S. Commercial Service, Hewlett Packard, McDonald's, Black and Decker, Ford, and The Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.
Students in the Professional M.B.A. participate in the same international experience as those students in the Executive M.B.A.
The price of the international trip is included in the program fees for students in the Professional M.B.A.
Similar short-term study abroad opportunities are also available to students in the Evening M.B.A. program. Each program offers students opportunities to experience diverse cultures while learning about business practices in a global environment. Students may participate in the M.B.A.-approved study abroad program to satisfy one of the three electives required for the degree.
Past locations have included areas in Southeast Asia, Europe, and China with visits to Kyung Hee University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Coca Cola, McDonalds, AIG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Pudong Development Bank, Hyundai and Samsung, Siemens and Invensys Building Systems, and Johnson & Johnson and Diebold.
