Students in all three MBA programs have the opportunity to sign up for MBA 695, our 7 to 10 day trip to a foreign locale for a wide variety of cultural and business experiences. Held in March, previous trips have been to places such as Germany, China, Estonia, Denmark and Viet Nam, with visits to companies like Hyundai, Maersk, Remi Martin and many more.
