Graduate Business

Study Abroad Opportunities

John Brown University offers international practicums in conjunction with its graduate business programs.  International practicums include travel to places in Central America and Asia and are open to all graduate business and leadership students.

China

Objective

The International Business Practicum in China was designed to compliment graduate business students by helping them gain a global perspective on the world’s fastest growing economy. Students travel to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Beijing to tour retailing, manufacturing facilities, and meet with major consumer product companies to learn strategies for success in China.

Students also tour the famous Drucker Academy in Beijing, China (http://www.pfda.com.cn/english/about_team.html) where we have a joint partnership relationship. In addition, students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich culture of China and understand the government’s impact on society. This trip also helps students understand how the local Chinese people live, shop, eat, and worship. Importantly, students will engage in understanding the future impact of over 100 million Christians currently living in China. The practicum consists of pre- and post- trip classes and course work as well as a travel experience. Learn more about the China Practicum.
