Students gain international experience from study abroad, working abroad, as well as from carrying out business projects in different countries.

In longer duration projects, students work in teams with entrepreneurial startups, analyzing the firm, industry and environment, and offering action recommendations. Professor Greg Collier discusses several variables influencing successful experiences and learning, including choosing client sites and countries to visit, selectivity in enrolling students for such experiences, classroom work prior to travel, establishing clear rules for course participation and engagement, and partnering with local universities and business organizations.
