Course requirements include several pre-program meetings, most scheduled on campus during the spring semester, and a paper after the travel concludes.  The meetings will allow students to learn about global marketing and sales practices, workforce challenges, and emerging technologies unique to global sales efforts. They will also visit with area business leaders and companies who have operations in Europe to understand their marketing and sales strategies. Additionally, these meetings provide an opportunity for students to meet others who will be participating in the program.

While in London and Dublin, the group will visit with businesses of varying size and industries to discuss their marketing and sales strategy and execution as well as critical leadership challenges when managing an international business.   The final paper will offer students the opportunity to reflect on the entire study abroad experience.
