Most business schools offer one or two global travel seminars; the Sawyer Business School offers eight to ten each year. Students choose from seminars in countries like Brazil, China, England, Germany, India, Ireland, Poland, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam. Designed to accommodate working professionals, most seminars last one week. Crafted by faculty leaders, no two global seminars are exactly alike. However, each seminar includes three pre-travel class sessions on campus to provide foundational knowledge about business in the destination country and one class session upon return for final seminar project presentations. The international travel component is the core of the global seminar experience. During the week, you are immersed in the country through a series of field visits and cultural activities. Field visits range from the local branch of a huge, multinational corporation to a small, entrepreneurial firm; stock exchanges; or regulatory authorities and feature meetings with government leaders, corporate executives, or academic experts. Past trips to China, Germany, England, and Brazil have included visits to Bank of England, Black & Decker, BMW, Boston Consulting Group, Boston Scientific, Bovespa, Citigroup, Coca-Cola, Embraer, FedEx, GE Financial Services, Hewlett Packard, Lloyd’s of London, Lufthansa, Microsoft, Natura, State Street Global Markets, Volkswagen, and the World Trade Organization (WTO). 9
