The Daniels MBA: International Program
Learning at Daniels gets you out into the world.
Learning at Daniels is not confined to classrooms or even continents. Our approach to learning is interdisciplinary and high impact: you learn business lessons because you live them. You acquire business skills because you use them when the stakes are real.
What sets learning at Daniels apart:
- Business relevance: Business relevance is at the core of the Daniels experience. Our faculty members bring significant international business and consulting experience to the classroom, making them experts at bridging theories to real-world application. Our curriculum is aligned with current business needs and technologies. And, our active network of alumni and corporate partners frequently visit our classrooms to share their insights.
- Global, experiential learning: You learn by doing; it's tangible and it's engaging. Experiential learning opportunities include:
- Global Opportunities: Students travel abroad to work on consulting projects for a local enterprise or multinational corporation. Past trips explored business development initiatives in Tanzania and sustainable mining practices in Peru.
- Cultural Investigation and Observation: In this required IMBA course, students examine a specific industry or service in a transitional economy and experience working across cultures.
- Deutsche Bank Micro-Finance: Through an exclusive partnership with Deutsche Bank, students work with their microfinance division to evaluate microfinance recipients in developing countries.
- Cross-functional collaboration: The fast pace of global business demands that leaders and managers understand both the big picture and cross-functional intricacies. Through required courses, team-teaching and hands-on experiences, you are exposed to a wide spectrum of business disciplines and you learn how integrating them achieves specific results.
- Ethics and sustainability: Daniels provides students with an ethical framework for aligning an enterprise's mandate for profit and growth to its responsibility to society and the environment. This big-picture approach prepares students to consider the social, political, legal, ethical and environmental ramifications of business decisions.
