Market Access Lab

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Market Access Lab is an experiential learning opportunity for students to solve a market access problem on behalf of an actual company trying to export abroad. The lab will be organized around the client’s specific market access challenges. The first part of the lab will introduce students to these challenges. The second part will be about pertinent texts and case law under the World Trade Organization and/or relevant trade agreements like the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Students will interact with the clients, government agencies, and international institutions. In addition to applying political economy and international law skills, students will work on presentation skills, in preparation for giving the final slide deck to the client. The prerequisites for this lab are GBUS 410, TradeLab, or a related course. Interviews will be held in November.
