Global Study
The Tepper MBA global study experience provides a range of options for international management opportunities. With a diverse student community (1/3 international) comprised of more than 20 different countries, a global perspective on business issues is an inherent aspect of classroom learning. Outside the classroom, students have the opportunity for flexible, tailored international trips or an intensive experience that spans two mini-semesters.

Global Treks (January and/or March)
MBA students in the full-time and part-time programs develop customized international treks that feature academic, corporate and cultural highlights intended to further students’ exposure to international management practice and trends.

The Global Treks occur for two weeks between the fall and spring semesters. One highlight of the treks is the close partnership with Tepper faculty members who work with student teams on the planning and accompany the team abroad. Currently, Global Trek regions include China (Beijing & Shanghai 2006, 2007, 2008), India (2008) and South Africa (2008). The trek format features morning classes at international partner universities; afternoon visits to corporations, HQ locations and manufacturing facilities; and evening social events with students, local executives, alumni and faculty.

Transitional Economies Study Abroad (March and April)
There is a study abroad program based in Koblenz, Germany, partnering with The Otto Beisheim School of Management (WHU). At WHU, Tepper students will learn about the historical, political and economic bases of the European Union (EU). In addition, the specific areas of finance, operations, marketing and entrepreneurship are examined within the context of the EU. WHU coordinates the program in various cities by integrating university coursework with corporate, and government visits in each city. Tepper MBA alumni in these cities will meet with Tepper MBA students during the visits at which panels and social events are organized.
