RIT Global Business Focus: Experience and Diversity for Impact

RIT’s Global experiences enrich and enable experiential learning »

Study abroad opportunities continue to grow in both scope and size for Saunders students. This past calendar year included trips to Croatia, South Africa, and China, among others.

International Business students from RIT Rochester participated in the USA-Croatia Global Exchange in the spring 2017. The semester-long program formed a cohort with students from RIT Croatia, spending time on both international campuses.

This fall, Saunders Executive MBA students embarked on their annual international consulting trip. This year they visited Johannesburg, South Africa where they consulted with companies on real-world business projects.

While there, she finished her degree by taking Saunders-taught MIS courses, as part of the 4-year MIS program offered at both RIT Rochester and RIT China, in English.
