Online MBA Global Learning Program Experiences

Next-level leaders are adept at navigating business and cultural norms wherever they operate. The Online MBA Global Learning Program experiences provide a first-hand opportunity to solve real problems for real companies by calling on the knowledge and skills gained during your time in the program. This core course culminates in a four-day international trip, where students make company visits, meet with local business and government leaders, explore local culture and cuisine, and ultimately, present their project recommendations directly to business leaders. Students frequently single out their Immersion project as one of the most challenging – and rewarding – parts of their SMU Cox experience.

All MBA programs at SMU Cox include a Global Learning Program trip as part of their core curriculum, but destinations, trip length and coursework vary by program. In the Online MBA program:

  • In-person international destinations
  • Trip length: 4-5 days, including travel
  • Trip costs, not included in tuition, include a destination-dependent $1200-$2000 trip fee, airfare and personal expenses
