Westminster's MBA and MBATC programs culminate in an international context tour, which is integrated into the curriculum and included in tuition costs. The tours are designed to give context to the program from an international perspective. Students analyze the social, cultural, political, and technological aspects of doing business in a global environment.
Students can select from several international destinations, and tours run in the fall and spring. Each context tour is designed to incorporate both cultural experiences and business visits that help students contextualized what they are learning in a real-world international business environment. Prior to traveling, students complete preparatory course work that gives them a deeper understand of the cultures and businesses they will be visiting. In the past, students have traveled to France, South Africa, England, China, Scandinavia, Peru, and many more exciting locations.
