Global Academic Travel Experience

3 credits · Fuqua School of Business

Combines classroom study of one or more foreign countries with a visit and observation of the region studied. Participants work with a faculty member for up to six weeks of lectures and discussion about the business and organizational systems of one or more countries. They prepare intensively to engage in meaningful discussion with overseas managers and leaders. Then the study tour group departs for a foreign visit, usually ten days to two weeks long. Activities include visits to corporations, nonprofit organizations, U.S. or host government agencies, and educational institutions, as well as cultural and historical sites. Upon return to the U.S., students are responsible for completing a written project. This course is for Daytime MBA and Accelerated Daytime MBA students.
