We value your privacyWhat Activities Will You Participate In?
Our annual field studies cover a wide range of activities and topics specific to the locales we visit, so your itinerary will be highly customized. Some of what you can expect includes:
- Visits to local businesses and opportunities to meet business leaders
- Tours of cultural landmarks
- Chances to spend most evenings exploring the cities and immerse yourself in the local culture
The optional international field study trip will be part of the summer 1 Special Projects or Independent Study (IBUS 600) elective course. This 3-credit course is an opportunity for experiential learning and to connect with your fellow EMBA students.
Program fees will cover hotel, some meals, all in country transportation, and the program itself.
An important part of leadership is understanding different cultural nuances, communication nuances, and personality traits. The international field studies help our students do that and ultimately polish and hone their own leadership skills.

This has been an absolute treat and I have learned so much being here. I am coming back to the United States a more informed and more spirited leader.

Coming on this trip as an EMBA student has allowed me to look more closely at how I see the world and how I plan to change it. I’ve learned that I need to dream larger. There’s so much more that I can do, and with this degree, I’m going to do it.

This has been by far the coolest trip ever. What’s incredible to see is how the people have structured their government to welcome innovation, development, and the grow of the country. I have some lessons for my team in thinking about how to inspire innovation and help grow the data program that I run at my company.
