Topics covered include differing timelines, intentional networking, various interview styles, staying on top of industry trends, as well as how to make a career pivot and land on your feet.

Our guests leave us with their key pieces of advice: to set priorities, lean on community, and stay open to confusion and uncertainty.

At Michigan Ross, international programs allow students the opportunity to immerse themselves in new cultures, tackle business challenges from a global perspective, and have once-in-a-lifetime experiences with their classmates while building lifelong connections around the world.

On the 10th season premiere of Business Beyond Usual, our full time MBA students speak to why they went global. They discuss various programs: student-led treks through MTREK, international Multidisciplinary Action Projects (MAP), and study abroad through the MBA Global Semester Exchange Program. They dive into the day-to-day life of time abroad, talking about the challenges — from language barriers to unfamiliar corporate culture — and reminiscing on the highlights of their travels.

The students come away from their experiences with more empathy, compassion, and confidence, not to mention new friends and a deeper understanding of global business.
