Data, Discussion, and Decision-Making: Business Communication Intensive

1 unit

Data, Discussion, and Decision-Making is designed to teach international master’s students the English communication skills necessary for success in Olin School of Business classrooms and beyond. The course combines digital learning components with a 14-hour in-person weekend intensive class. The curriculum is centered on three core competencies essential to business school performance: presenting data clearly and persuasively, entering and contributing to fast-paced discussions, and debating and defending ideas. Rather than teaching language in isolation, the program immerses students in the actual practices of business school, including case discussions, cold calling, team-based analysis, and high-stakes presentations.
