Experience the 50
Management Practices in the United States
Gain global perspective—right here in the United States.

Experience the 50 are credit-bearing, hybrid programs that include a virtual experience and an optional trip based on the program's theme and location.
Upon acceptance, you will be force-registered into the course. During the virtual component, you will network with alumni, tour organizations and complete mini-cases or team projects. Finally, you may choose to cap off the experience by traveling to program's city.
