Program Overview
Join Prof. Weaver on this unique program, designed to give students a general understanding of the practices and the varied institutional and cultural environments of North American business. The program combines classroom activity with travel (northeast, midwest, northwest, and coastal and desert southwest in the U.S.), and is intended primarily for students with little or no exposure to business practices, institutions, and cultures in North America.
The goal of American Business and Its Environment is to help students -- especially international students -- better understand the mix of business practices, institutions, and cultures within North America, with particular emphasis on the U.S. The program provides this through a mix of traditional classroom lecture and discussion, reading and video materials, and personal travel experiences visiting businesses, institutions, and culturally significant sites in different regions of the U.S. For more program details, check the faculty director's website.
Please note: to be considered for this program, you must send the program director (Prof. Gary Weaver) a one page essay explaining:
- the extent of your prior travel experiences in the U.S., and
- the reasons why you want to participate in this program.
