Smith's International Study Trips provide a first-hand look at business operations around the world. In the 2000-2001 academic year, Smith MBAs will travel to the United Kingdom, Chile, Ireland, Germany and France. Past trips have included India, Argentina, Germany, and Israel. Cross-cultural team assignments, trips to historic sites, and social events ensure that Smith students leave with an appreciation of the country's culture and people as well as its business environment.
Students can earn academic credit for their participation.
If you're looking for a more in-depth international experience, you can spend a semester living and studying abroad in one of the Smith School's eight International Exchange Programs . Participating are select business schools in Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Opportunities to study at non-Maryland partner schools also exist. Smith's Center for Global Business also offers opportunities closer to home to learn about the challenges and rewards of running an international operation. In the Global Executive Breakfast Seminars, executives from leading global organizations meet informally with small groups of MBA students to share their experiences.
