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.
During the second semester (spring) of the Executive MBA program, students embark on a two-week international residency. During this experience, you'll examine the cultural, legal, and economic aspects of each location you visit, gaining deeper knowledge of international business practices and cultures and how to effectively conduct business in a global setting.
During the last semester (fall) of the Executive MBA program, students have the option of participating in an additional four to five-day international residency to further develop the skills necessary for conducting business in a global market. An additional program fee is associated with this trip.
During the third semester (summer) of the Executive MBA program, students have the option of participating in a three to four-day tour of top technology giants, start-ups, and venture capitalists at a tech hub in the U.S. Insights from the trip will benefit their work on the capstone project. An additional program fee is associated with this trip.
Executive MBA students Jonah Crespo and Caryn Facunla share the insights they gained from the 2024 international immersion.
