On this episode of the Working for the Weekend podcast, our hosts, Meghna Jain and Jonathan Young, sit down with Weekend MBA student Ridha Al-Wishah and Online MBA student Chris Corbett to discuss international and domestic travel opportunities for the part-time MBA.

The guests share their experiences with WHU University in Germany, the Italy Innovation Residency, and the Malawi MAP (Multidisciplinary Action Project). They compare the consulting nature of MAP travel with the academic coursework focus of residency programs and tackle budget setting, managing credit hours, and fitting travel into a full-time work schedule.

In the second half of the podcast, Chris and Ridha discuss their domestic travel experiences, covering the Silicon Valley Experience Trek, the Trek to Harvard for the Arab Business Conference, and the West Virginia MAP.

As the conversation ends, the students frame travel experiences as an investment in oneself, and they shoutout the strong Ross alumni network that makes all of these opportunities possible.
