HSB International

The MBA international experience to China has reached its course capacity.  The student and faculty excitement surrounding this experience has been phenomenal.  The Office of Off Campus Programs will hold a waiting list of students who are still interested, but have not yet applied for the trip.  We hope this experience will lead to a strong relationship with our partners in China so future Hamline groups can visit.  
 
The summer international experience to Ottawa is still accepting applications. This program is open to all HSB graduate programs. Check the Canadian course flyer for more information about the trip.

Earlier today students and faculty left for the International Human Resources experience for MBA students it Modena, Italy.  They will study employment law, staffing, business, and culture in Modena.
