Business in Asia
Academic Program
This program integrates substantive course work in business with travel to major cities in Asia and includes informal collaboration between LMU and students and faculty at universities in the host cities. It is designed to provide students with a rewarding personal and cultural experience while at the same time promoting a rigorous academic environment. Students will receive background training in the countries to be visited and the research topics prior to the summer program.
Various Locations Throughout Asia
In the past course destinations have included Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo. (The 2009 program cities will be announced in September 2008).
When visiting these locations, students will work with faculty and students at host institutions on pre-selected research projects. Students may also visit companies and tour important cultural and business venues. During the visits, students will receive briefings from high-level corporate and political officials. Free time will be provided to visit other cultural and business venues.
