Immersive residencies give Georgia Tech Executive MBA students the opportunity to gain practical experience and first-hand insight into business practices and cultural dynamics here and abroad. These experiences allow you to gain an understanding of international markets, develop cross-cultural communication skills, and build a global network of contacts.
