Lake Forest MBA Global Business Opportunities
If you're interested in gaining hands-on global business experience, the Lake Forest MBA program is the place for you.
At Lake Forest, you can either specialize in global business, or you can take as many or as few global business courses as you'd like. In each course, you and your teammates will:
- Work, study, and live in selected global cities for up to two weeks, depending on the course
- Examine the region's economic climate in meetings with the senior management of local and multinational businesses and financial institutions
- Examine the region’s political environment through visits with local government officials
- Become familiar with the region’s culture and its impact on conducting global business
- Complete a consulting project in the local market by analyzing a problem or opportunity, and developing a business solution
- Personally present your business solution to a panel of local academics, business representatives, and clients for their evaluation
- Gain insight into the challenges facing global business and acquire a new understanding of business as it relates to your organization
All courses are taught by Lake Forest MBA faculty who have business experience in the respective region, and by faculty from in-country university partners.
Fundamental to each course is your hands-on, in-country consulting project for an area business, and regional presentations by prominent business, political, financial, and labor leaders chosen for their expertise in global issues.
Our current in-country global business courses are:
- Global Practicum: Europe
- Global Practicum: Asia
- Global Practicum: Latin America
