The first is Global Immersion Week that takes place at the beginning of the MBA program. During this week, EGADE MBAs are introduced to global business and cultural practices through visits to international companies, guest lectures, and cultural activities.

The next is considered one of the highlights of the program – the Global Business Experience. All EGADE MBAs attend the two-week experience, traveling to a foreign country where students work in teams to develop a consulting project for a local company.

“It was all a very enriching challenge to be able to have a real impact and be able to be involved in a real company, it has been one of the best ways to really expose ourselves to the world and how to deal with companies outside of your own circle,” says EGADE MBA Adrian Lugo.
