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.

The International MBA Program

This program begins with intensive coursework in Beijing and Shanghai, China, from early May until late July. Students then return to Boston to complete the remaining MBA coursework, possibly including an international field seminar.

Students have the option of accelerating their program to 12 months (May to May) as shown by taking an additional course during the spring semester. They may also spread the credits out (to 14 or 18 months) for a multitude of reasons, including taking additional electives or completing a summer internship.
