Student Quotes:

“This course was by far the best of my 15 hour MBA experience. Learning about how the Irish live and do business has caused me to rethink my position on how I live and work. The Irish, even in the midst of much suffering, have changed me to balance my life in my work and family much better. This cultural experience was a great setting for better understanding the importance of adapting change.”

“The "place as text" model is unsurpassed for accomplishing the learning objectives in a course of this type. This, combined with the expertise and leadership of the instructor, made the program excellent. In this program, our "classroom" became wherever we were and everything we experienced became our curriculum. It is an experience that can't be duplicated or substituted on campus.”

“So many things were extremely beneficial in this course. It turned the concept of globalization into reality. Facility tours, feedback, discussion, and lectures were amazingly interactive. Phenomenal course.”
