Global Engagement

Broadening horizons through experiential learning and an innovative curriculum.

We live in an increasingly dynamic world.  The Internet now provides instant communication and access to information.  People, products, and money move ever more fluidly around the globe.   Movements in one country's economy have a quickening ripple throughout the world.  This changing world requires integrated, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive thinking.

The Mason School of Business is at the frontier of global experiential learning.  We encourage each student to incorporate an international experience into their Individual Program of Study (IPS).   We provide curricular sequencing so all students may study abroad for a semester without delaying graduation and personalized advising so students maximize their experience while abroad.  Furthermore, we offer unique curricular opportunities that incorporate study abroad, such as a summer program in Budapest and the Global Immersion Analysis course where students visit Southeast Asia over winter break.

However, study abroad is only one of multiple ways to engage in global experiences at the Mason School of Business.  Social entrepreneurship projects and international internships also provide practical experience in this dynamic environment.  Learning diverse ways to engage, Undergraduate Business students from the Mason School of Business are equipped to enter the dynamic, global business environment which awaits them after graduation.
