Not Your Average International Trip

The Executive MBA international experience is more than an international trip. Traveling with all three cohorts, you are immersed in the culture of a new city, where traditions and general business practices may seem unusual or even exotic. That is one of the exact reasons we select the locations we do — to create a transformative experience for our EMBA students. In addition to company visits, tours, and presentations from senior management, your team will serve as a consultant to an international organization, applying your knowledge and expertise to a specific client project. This trip is like none you have experienced before.

RIT’s Executive Education Programs have a successful history of customizing solutions to meet the unique needs and desires of companies in a wide range of industries. These programs are the result of a productive collaboration between RIT and the firm, and are and specifically tailored for each company. An example of a recent program:

A distinctive cornerstone of the EMBA program at RIT, the international trip and consultancy project offers the opportunity to put learning into practice on a global stage. Prior to departure, students conducted relevant country, industry, and firm-specific research on the international and domestic companies located in and around Johannesburg, South Africa. Once in country, students had the experience of a lifetime.

Before RIT Executive MBA students depart on their international trip, they learn about the country in an International Business course through lectures, case studies, and group discussions.  After arriving in country, the students continue learning from the leaders of companies representing a variety of industries.  These visits often include operational tours, company presentations, and even live case studies to explore the challenges and opportunities facing firms in these countries.
