Multicultural team experience

The International MBA immerses you in a multicultural learning community. At the program’s start in Beijing you’re assigned to a team of fellow students. You and your teammates collaborate on class projects, exchange ideas, and challenge each other with diverse ways of thinking, doing, and leading.

Teamwork extends beyond course work; you live with your classmates and down the hall from School of Management faculty and staff.

When you return to Boston, you engage in further collaborative work, through BU’s unique team learning approach.
