Gain Global Business Competencies

The program emphasizes active learning. Join

teammates from diverse backgrounds to take a fresh

look at business practice and strategy through a global

lens. Live cases, capstone projects and a master’s

thesis will provide key opportunities to apply your

global knowledge and skillset.

All curricular, capstone, thesis, residential and student life experiences are integrated and closely coordinated by the three partner schools. The program is conducted in English.

Make Connections on Three Continents

Within each region of study—United States, China and

Europe—special focus will be given to how different

economic, social and geopolitical factors influence

business. Through both curricular and extracurricular

activities, you will connect with faculty, alumni,

employers and business leaders in each region.

Learn Through Cultural

Immersion and Collaboration

Gain invaluable experience living, studying and

collaborating with classmates from culturally diverse

backgrounds as you move as a cohort between

American, Asian and European residencies.

Whether you intend to pursue an internationally mobile career or focus your efforts

domestically, this opportunity will help you develop a portfolio of global business

skills and cultural immersion experiences—a distinguishing mark that will place you

on employers’ short lists of globally competent business graduates.
