Without a study of international business, an Executive MBA program simply falls short. The global economy is becoming more interdependent, so students face societal and cultural challenges when conducting business internationally. To prepare students for those challenges, the international residency immerses students in a global business environment through intense learning experiences over 7-9 days. Students gain perspective on how international economic, cultural, and regulatory environments influence business processes. As part of the international residency, students will incorporate lessons and skills learned during their MBA program in an international business strategy challenge. International businesses that are facing unique challenges and problem areas, e.g., human resources, financial, operations, marketing, etc., will be identified and MBA teams will be created to research, construct, and present suggested strategy to the international business.
The international residency features: a) An international business strategy challenge b) Lectures from international business experts c) Distinguished guest speakers d) Site visits to a variety of country-specific businesses e) Other cultural excursions Many alumni say the international residency is one of the most memorable, challenging, and fun parts of their Executive MBA experience. Additional Residency Information: https://www.terry.uga.edu/mba/executive/curriculum/international-residency/
Students are encouraged to participate in our international residency which is a for credit international trip. Each spring the Full-Time MBA program offers a three-credit short term trip abroad.

Online MBA students can choose to participate in in-person domestic or international residencies which provide learning experiences domestically or internationally. Without a study of regional or international business, an MBA program simply falls short. The regional and global economy is becoming more interdependent. Businesses are faced with societal and cultural challenges when conducting business outside of their city, state, or internationally. To prepare students for those challenges, domestic and international residencies immerse students in different business environments through experiential learning experiences. Students gain perspective on how economic, cultural, and regulatory environments influence business processes.
International and domestic residencies feature a business consulting challenge. Students traveling are divided into teams to work on real-world projects with companies in the destination city or country. Teams are given an overview of projects and given time to develop a strategy to address them. The conclusion of the business challenge is the final team presentation results to the company CEO and staff. Many alumni say this residency is one of the most memorable, challenging, and fun parts of their MBA experience.
