Expanding Your Leadership Perspective.
At MSU, international experience is part of our heritage. We’ve been a leader in international programming since 1956, when we became the first major public institution in the U.S. to make it a critical part of our mission. The Broad MBA leverages this international perspective in the curriculum, in the faculty and in the students who join our program. You can choose to study International Culture and Strategy on campus in East Lansing or travel abroad with the Global Marketplace program.
Past Global Marketplace experiences have taken place in diverse destinations around the globe including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Czech Republic, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.
