International Colloquium
At Goizueta, we believe the ability to operate in a global environment is critical to success. That is why we developed the International Colloquium, a capstone feature of our EMBA and part of the program’s core requirements.
The objective of this international module is to continue to expose you to the complexities, opportunities and challenges of the current business climate. It is also to acquaint you with the various ways in which global companies develop and manager their international businesses. By engaging you in business situations in various countries and cultures, we interactively educate you on how to apply problem solving, team building, and business analysis skills in a global forum. While we make it a point to incorporate a global perspective as part of our business curriculum, we believe there is no substitute for this type of international exposure.
