THE WEATHERHEAD MBA EXPERIENCE

International Study Programs

"Beyond the cultural and business experience, one of the most surprising and rewarding elements of the International Institute was the relationships our class formed. I know that many years from now I will not hesitate to call on my Institute classmates and professor and vice versa. The various disciplines of management education are important to me, but these friendships are of real professional value." Matthew Baird JD/MBA 2007 Employer: General Electric Experienced Commercial Leadership Program

Just as the Weatherhead School welcomes students from many countries to enhance its MBA community, the School encourages students to broaden their educational experience through study programs around the world.  International opportunities include:

International Institutes: These are intensive 1-2 week courses consisting of four pre-trip classes, followed by 10- to 17-day study tours conducted during the winter, spring and summer breaks.  Recent institutes have visited France, Germany, South Africa, China, Western and Central Europe, Spain and Portugal, Hungary and Australia, Budapest and Prague. 

Exchange Semester for Weatherhead Students: Full-time MBA students may spend one semester, typically the fall of second year, at one of our international exchange partner business schools.  Up to 15 credits taken at your host school can be transfered to your MBA program.

MBA Enterprise Corps: Weatherhead is one of 50 schools in the United States that nominates MBA graduates as business advisors to companies, development banks and consulting firms in “emerging market” nations.  Recent Weatherhead grads have been advisors in Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia, Krygyzstan and Bulgaria.
