The Executive MBA Program takes experiential learning beyond the classroom and into a global setting with a 10-day international business study tour. These trips leverage the strong international relationships that Colorado State University’s College of Business has formed. The experience is designed to develop a deeper understanding of business practices, international relations, and underlying cultural traditions of the visited region.

Students will participate in exchanges with top executives and managers, discussions on international business practices, and tours of companies that compete in the global economy. During the trip, student teams will be paired with a Colorado-based company, organization, or government entity to do an in-depth exploration of the industry or topic and respond to questions regarding market entry, possible partnerships or an overview of Colorado’s competitiveness in an industry sector.
