About the International Experience Course
The International Experience course serves as a case study in learning about the complexities of a business environment from a leader’s point of view. The course begins with a half semester of classroom study and culminates in a 10-day trip to one or more business capitals, during which students visit companies and meet political leaders. The course gives students an enhanced ability to think globally that will be valuable for the rest of their time at Yale and beyond.
