INTRODUCTION

The Kent State University College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management is pleased to offer the Masters International Business Experience which was begun in 1997.  The program, scheduled during the intersession (between the Spring and the regular Summer terms), is directed toward Masters students in the College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management, but is also available to all graduate students in the college. Interested students must register for the 3 credit hour graduate class and pay the appropriate fees by the established deadlines (see Payment Schedule).

The program involves a group of students accompanied by Kent State faculty. It will take place in Geneva, Switzerland and in France. In Geneva, the students and faculty will study and reside at the John Knox Center, about 15 minutes by bus from downtown. In France, we will stay in hotels with a European flavor.  For additional information city and country information see the KSU IBE Travel Information page.

The program provides KSU students an opportunity to study international organizations and businesses in a European setting. Through the experience of lectures as well as visits to organizations and cultural sites, the student’s cultural awareness is expanded, self-confidence is improved and professional horizons are broadened.
