SI475: Global Management Experience

The Global Management Experience (GME) is a four-credit course that emphasizes analytical work during the first half of the spring semester on campus, and culminates with a field study to Asia during Spring Break. Each year the countries and cities are changed. Pre-travel course work includes exploration of economic, governmental, and social factors that affect the conduct of business, and ethics, in a variety of industries and contexts. During our week abroad, you’ll visit business executives, government leaders and entrepreneurs, observing first-hand the application of management principles and strategies in the global arena. We also host social events with BU alumni in the area!

While GME is hosted in Questrom, the program is open to, and undertaken by, students from schools and colleges across Boston University.  We strive to provide business visits and course content that appeals to anyone who is interested in global experiences, whether that’s business, international relations, hospitality, engineering, or anything between!

COVID-19 Update: We are hopeful that we will be able to resume a travel component for GME in Spring 2023.  Please stay tuned!
