During this intensive week of academic activities, students join classes with executives who are on MBA’s in New Orleans, Houston, and other cities around the world.
- English level: Tulane University professors teach in English, and therefore it is necessary to have a sufficient level of listening, speaking and writing skills in that language.
- Tulane University presence in Chile: The program has been taught in Chile since 1997 and already has an important network.
Global Experience
- International Business Seminar: Module X takes place at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. In this module, MBA for the Americas students study together with EMBA students from New Orleans, Houston, Shanghai and Abu Dhabi, the courses “Leadership & Ethics” and “Managing People Internationally”. This allows students to benefit from truly international experience. At weekend the participants attend a closing lunch where they receive a program certificate; and on their return to Santiago, they participate in the graduation ceremony at University of Chile. The trip to Tulane University is mandatory and is included in the program fees. It covers a full stay in a double (shared) room, transportation and meals at class times. It does not include airfares.
- Beijing Business Forum: Every two years, in October, TABA China (Tulane Association of Business Alumni) organizes a Business Forum in China, with all graduates of MBA for the Americas and MBA from Tulane University taught in New Orleans, Taipei, Shanghai and Houston. Graduates of this MBA program are present in 81 countries, so the attendance at this forum is very attractive due to the diversity of cultures it brings together. This forum takes place over a week in Beijing or Shanghai and brings together various figures from around the business world. Alongside this, students will have the chance to visit large companies, where their executives will give talks on their businesses. This forum is optional and is not included in the program fees.
