• All students will participate in an international experience -- current trips include: Asia, France, Germany, India, the Middle East, Nicaragua or a regional option near Portland, Oregon.

• Full time MBA students gain valuable, hands-on business experience through their Capstone Consulting Project. This provides a great opportunity for students to get an inside perspective on a company of interest and gain relevant job skills.
