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.

What 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 one credit course will not count towards graduating credits but is an opportunity for experiential learning and to connect with your fellow Online MBA students.

Program fees will cover hotel, some meals, all in country transportation, and the program itself.
