International Immersion

MBA group picture in Germany

~Global Connections~

Millikin believes that to truly understand the global economy in which we live and work, we must immerse ourselves into our international world. For that reason, at the end of their MBA program, students travel internationally to live and study at a leading foreign graduate school in another country for one week. During this week, students participate in lectures, group projects, company visits and cultural tours to raise the understanding of business practices outside the United States.

This on-location experience will expose students directly to the culture, business practices and leadership attitudes outside the U.S., help prepare students for overseas assignments with their company and expose students to the thinking and believes of internationally known professors and business executives.

  • ~Testimonials~

     

    • Being immersed in foreign culture and international business was a life-changing opportunity. I never expected to feel so at home with the locals, to be treated with the respect of a CEO, or to land an interview with the company we visited, but Millikin made all of those things and more possible.
