Global Business Experience The Global Business Experience is a three-credit, semester-long class that integrates business disciplines with international policy and consulting. In this course, students conduct a substantive consulting project for an international business or organization (private, public, or nonprofit). Under faculty supervision, students work together to address the organization’s unique, complex business challenges. In addition, students interact with the policy community through visits
to organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Spanish Embassy. The project culminates in a weeklong trip to the client location, where students present their findings and recommendations to senior management. The Global Business Experience course also counts as an elective for the International Business major.
SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS Every summer, the McDonough School of Business hosts short-term programs for Italian students from Università Bocconi and Chinese students from Beijing’s Central University of Economics and Business.

GLOBAL PROGRAMS
At no other time has a global perspective been more important in business education. Through participation in innovative programs such as the Global Business Fellows Program, Global Business Experience course, and study abroad and internship opportunities around the world, students at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business will cultivate the necessary skills to succeed as future global leaders.
“To truly understand globalization, you need to be exposed to global environments. Our students have multiple opportunities to get this firsthand exposure.” — RICARDO ERNST, Professor of Operations and Managing Director, Global Business Initiative
“There is no substitute for experiential learning in a foreign setting as a means of not only developing one’s full potential but also seeing through the lenses of other cultures the vastness of human achievement.” — ARTHUR DONG, Teaching Professor of Strategy and Faculty Director, Hong Kong Program
“International experiences afford students not only the opportunity to develop a better understanding of different cultures but also a firm appreciation of the impact of cross-cultural awareness on business ethos, decisions, and development.” — MONIJA AMANI, Assistant Dean and Director of Global Programs, Undergraduate Program
Global Business Fellows Program The Global Business Fellows Program is an innovative partnership between Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business and Walsh School of Foreign Service. The program includes three distinct elements: INTERDISCIPLINARY CURRICULUM The program teaches fundamental principles of business with required coursework in international affairs, economics, and languages. This combination of courses enables students to conceptualize and solve challenges that impact business and public policy on a global scale. GLOBAL BUSINESS EXPERIENCE The capstone of the Global Business Fellows Program is our Global Business Experience course, in which students partner with a multinational organization on a consulting project to address the client’s business challenges. The course culminates in a weeklong, international trip to present recommendations to senior management in the client organization.
PUBLIC POLICY PROGRAMMING Students have several opportunities to interact with economic leaders and public policy decision-makers in Washington, D.C. Students from Georgetown McDonough and School of Foreign Service are eligible to apply for admission to the Global Business Fellows Program in their sophomore year. Fellows will be designated on a student’s transcript and will receive a certificate at graduation.
“The integrated curriculum of the Global Business Fellows Program provides a great opportunity to embrace both disciplines of business and international affairs. The best part is that it teaches you the business tools and allows you to apply them in a global setting. I also really like the speaker events and taking classes with people who share the same passion for global business.” — SIYU (ERA) QIAN (B ’17)
McDonough Summer Abroad Programs The McDonough School of Business offers customized summer programs to allow students to further their global experience while completing two business courses — six Georgetown credits — at well-known institutions abroad.
