Travel Courses

In the current global business climate, any competitive and contemporary skillset should demonstrate cross-cultural competence and perspective. MBA students at RBS have access to a variety of global courses that are designed to meet the needs of busy full-time and part-time students looking to participate in an international experience.

The RBS global experience courses are 3 credit, short term faculty-led classes that meet several times pre/post departure and consist of 10-12 day itineraries at the international location. All of the times are scheduled to not interfere with regular semester courses. Regardless of which program, each course combines lectures from industry/country experts, business site visits, and cultural activities. Students will also have the opportunity to interact and network with local students and professionals.
