Abstract
Study-abroad experiences, once the province of expensive executive MBA programs and undergraduate semester abroad programs at many undergraduate institutions, are now being offered at many business schools for full- and part-time MBA students. In fact, having and promoting these study-abroad programs is increasingly necessary to be competitive in recruiting FT MBA students. This chapter will discuss how well-known business schools are augmenting their traditional study-abroad and exchange programs with international partner schools to enhance the global outlook of their students. This research documents the availability and degree of popularity of the newer MBA global study tours (GSTs), which are short-term programs involving groups of students from MBA programs going abroad with faculty members as part of the requirements of a graduate course.
