International Study & Travel
MBA Global Business Travel Seminar
UIndy's global business travel seminar offers students a way to set themselves apart from the crowd in today's competitive global business environment. Each year, the MBA program plans an overseas trip to give students first-hand experience with international businesses. The one to two week trips are a key component of the International Business major, but are open to all current and former UIndy MBA students.
Our travels have taken us to many of the world's leading business locations, including:
- China
- India
- Dubai
- England & France
- Brazil, Argentina & Chile
- Eastern Europe
- Australia & New Zealand
- Switzerland
- Cuba
- Hong Kong & Vietnam
- Thailand
Students have visited numerous government agencies and business trade groups, including the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, IBM India, the Ministry of Finance in Dubai, the Bank of England, the Paris Transit Authority, and Roche Diagnostics International.
MBA Students Visit Hong Kong and Vietnam
A group of 19 students, faculty, staff and alumni involved in the MBA program visited Hong Kong and Vietnam to explore business relations in those countries. Many of the students who participated in the trip were members of the MBA 652 Global Business Seminar class taught by Kathy Bohley, Professor of International Business & Marketing.
Students had a business meeting in Hong Kong with Fidelity Investments, then traveled to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam for a cultural tour, including a day trip to the Cu Chi tunnels, the Reunification Palace, the War Remnants Museum and the Mekong Delta, where they learned about the rice paper industry and other manufacturing in Vietnam. They also met with Intel Products leadership and toured Intel’s manufacturing facility, and met with the U.S. Commercial Services to discuss American business in Vietnam with a commercial officer.
