Program Overview
Come with us “Down Under” and visit Australia’s two most famous and largest cities: Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is Australia’s most populous city and home to the famous Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbor Bridge and the spectacular beaches that are recognized around the world. Sydney is also a major Asia/Pacific business center. Visit leading U.S., Australian and multinational firms while experiencing the culture, energy and beauty of this fantastic Australian city. In addition to our visit to Sydney, we will also be traveling to Melbourne, Australia in the final week of the trip. Melbourne is Australia’s second largest city and home to the “Great Ocean Road” and the famous Australian Open Tennis tournament. Our group will visit leading companies and organizations in Melbourne and the surrounding area and provide options for trips on Australia’s Great Ocean Road and a day at the Australian Open Tennis tournament.
To prepare for your experience, you will participate in two class meetings before departure.
