Each spring, the Augsburg MBA program offers students the option of earning credit while on a 9-day international travel experience. The purpose of the trip is to expose students to the thriving business climates of locations such as Germany, France, Poland, the United Kingdom, Italy, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, and to allow students an opportunity to understand the culture and environment of an economy outside the U.S.
Students experience an exciting week that includes visits to businesses and organizations such as:
- European Union
- German Deutsche Bahn Transportation
- German Legislature
- Shell Oil
- Airbus
- Porsche
- BMW
- 3M Poland
- Smart Car
- Cargill
- Amazon Europe Innovation Centers
- Nike
- The Royal Bank of Scotland
Students register for either Strategic Management (MBA 595) or Managing in a Global Environment (MBA 565). Classes meet before, during, and after the trip. Students in both classes are assigned appropriate projects that will enable them to leverage their experiences.
