Optional Global Immersion Experience

This learning experience is designed to enhance your ability to communicate cross-culturally, adapt to evolving business environments, and manage some of the key risks and benefits of operating on a global scale. The immersion experience may include visits to corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities, as well as meetings with executives and government officials to learn about international business from those experiencing it firsthand in the country.

The Global Immersion trip and corresponding course(s) will be offered each spring, beginning in spring 2021. Please note that coursework is required both before and after the trip.  Coursework requirements are as follows:

  • Take BA 836 for 1 credit in a spring semester. The 1 credit course will include the trip and associated pre/post-work. (BA 836 would be an additional credit to the 30 required to graduate.); OR
  •  Take BA 836 for 1 credit AND BA 835 for 2 credits during spring semester. Together, the 3 credits will involve more extensive coursework in this subject area than just the 1 credit alone, and includes the trip.  (The 3 credits for BA 835 and 836 may replace one 3 credit program elective course with approval.  Please contact the program office.)

We aim to have enough students across programs to allow students to choose from 3-4 locations each spring. Past trips for the full-time and executive students have included Johannesburg, South Africa; Shanghai, China; Prague, Czech Republic and Santiago, Chile. The trip choices will be made by the program faculty directors based on global business climate, and corporate and alumni relationships, that will allow for the most fruitful experience. Please contact the program office for more details, including fee structure, upcoming dates, and locations. Please note that students pay course tuition as well as an additional trip fee to participate in Global Immersion.
