Global Business ExperienceThe 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 addi-tion, 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. GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Global Social Internship Program

“ My experience with Fabretto was unforgettable! Not only did I get an opportunity to meet incredible people, but I also was able to apply my business teaching to a real-life global setting.”

—ARI NEWSOME (B ’17)

Rooted in Jesuit values, the Global Social Internship Program provides undergraduate students with a transformative platform to engage in service learning through an internship opportunity in Central America. Students complete a five-week business internship in Nicaragua with the Fabretto Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit that empowers underserved children and their families in Nicaragua through education and nutrition.

Internship activities include projects such as teaching the fundamentals of business to high school students and helping them identify business opportunities in their communities. Interns also work with school administrators to help improve the business curriculum, focusing on management and entrepreneurship.

Participants will receive a stipend of $2,500 and free housing for the duration of the internship.

Additional Global Opportunities

STUDY ABROADThrough Georgetown’s Office of Global Education, McDonough students have numerous opportunities for study abroad at more than 75 universities and colleges in 40 countries. Most programs are completed during the third year of study and include options for fall semester, spring semester, full academic year, or summer programs.

SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSEvery 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. McDonough students have the opportunity to interact with these students to exchange academic and cultural perspectives.

MCDONOUGH GLOBAL STUDENT ASSOCIATIONTo support international students, the McDonough Global Student Association (MGSA) — a student-run club — was established in 2011. With nearly 200 members, MGSA organizes seminars and annual conferences and helps coordinate the Undergraduate Program Office’s Global Embassy Series.

“Participating in the ESADE summer program has truly been one of the best decisions that I have made at Georgetown. We were immersed in both a challenging and captivating learning environment

at ESADE, which helped me understand the importance of global business and the value of cross-cultural communication. The program gave me the opportunity to cultivate my intellectual and cultural curiosity.”

Global Business Fellows Program

McDonough Summer Abroad Programs

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 CURRICULUMThe 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 EXPERIENCEThe 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.

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.
