Kogod's International Dimensions in Management (IDM) programs combine on-campus coursework (IBUS-744) with short-term travel to rotating locations across the globe, allowing students to develop a deeper understanding of the issues global managers face and how they are addressed. The travel component includes company visits and structured meetings with business executives and experts, and provides an important experiential element to the study of international business environments.
Graduate students have multiple opportunities to participate in an International Dimensions in Management program during their tenure at Kogod. They are offered in the second module of the Spring semester with travel in May and in the second module of Fall semester with travel in December. Classes are held in the evening to accommodate part-time as well as full-time graduate students.
