Successful managers in today’s business world must be able to approach issues with a global mindset. The Transfer International Experience (TIE) program, a course for upper-level students who have transferred into Marshall or Leventhal from other institutions, focuses on developing a global mindset through hands-on experiential learning. TIE provides a first-hand perspective on how globalization affects companies and industries and helps students develop skills needed to succeed in business transactions across borders. The TIE course will help prepare upper-level students for managerial roles in businesses of the future. The centerpiece of this course is a week-long experiential learning trip to Vilnius, Lithuania after the Spring Semester ends. In addition to the experiential education during the international field study trip, the course will consist of a set of class sessions before the trip.
Students admitted to the program will enroll in a 2-unit course, BUAD 206, during the Spring 2025 semester. The class will explore global business issues and problems and will include presentations from international managers, politicians, and business leaders.
