International Residency

2 credits · Owen Graduate School of Management

Aside from an intense cultural immersion, the week-long international residency is composed of about ten organized corporate visits as a class, as well as time for each study group to set up individual meetings. These meetings provide students with real-world input for the global market entry plan they are working on for their specific course deliverables. Through this immersion program, students have met with business leaders and alumni in Vienna, Budapest, Santiago, S√£o Paulo, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Shanghai, and Hong Kong to discuss business issues in an international context. The location of the residency is determined in spring of the student's first year by the Executive MBA program office. Criteria for this selection include timely global business trends that will lead to the best learning experience and access to the expansive global Owen alumni network. Pass/Fail grading basis. [2]
