INTERNATIONAL FOCUS At Michigan State University, international experience isn’t just a part of the curriculum—it’s a part of our heritage. MSU has been a leader in international programming since 1956, when we became the first major public institution in the U.S. to make international programs a critical part of the university’s mission. The Broad Executive MBA leverages this international perspective in the curriculum, in the faculty, and in the students who join our program. Each year we welcome students from an extensive range of international experiences and educational backgrounds, and our Broad faculty leverage the college’s experience as a part of the culture. The residency highlights a specific region that has a diverse culture and an emerging economy. Students travel to gain first-hand experience with the business and culture of this destination. Advanced coursework helps to provide a foundation for learning, and activities during the week abroad focus on presentations by in-country experts and site visits to a range of businesses and industries.
Recent destinations have included: South Africa, Argentina, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, Brazil, China, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

I was able to see how using the management skills taught in my classes could be used to help people in deep and profound ways, not just increase a bottom line.”
