Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to share with you that Darla Moore School of Business is now offering a wide range of exceptional international cohort program opportunities around the globe for undergraduate students. The program is developing as we continue developing new and exciting options.
IB Cohort Programs bring Darla Moore School of Business students together with students from our partner schools, which are top universities worldwide. USC cohort students start their program on the USC campus, followed by multiple semesters abroad at locations based on their school(s) of choice. As a cohort participant, students prepare for this unparalleled experience from the very beginning of their studies.
We currently have six different International Business Cohort Programs. This past academic year we launched our International Business Education Alliance (IBEA) where students focus on management consulting and study one semester at University of Mannheim, ESSEC Singapore, FGV-EBAPE, and USC. Our most recent addition is the Global Business and Innovation (GBI), program that focuses on developing innovation, project management and international entrepreneurship skills. In this program has students joining cohort peers from Chinese University in Hong Kong-Shenzhen and the University of Auckland. The program includes innovation projects in the US, China and New Zealand.
