MBA, Dual Degree Students to Visit China
 |
MBA students and faculty, Tiananmen Square, China 2012
|
CI's MBA and MS Biotechnology/MBA Dual Degree students, faculty, and friends are headed to China March 28-April 6. The trip offers students a unique opportunity to explore the world's second largest economy and get a "behind the scenes" look into Chinese enterprise. Lead by Dr. Priscilla Liang, the group will tour universities and businesses while allowing plenty of time for sightseeing.
The adventure begins in the capital city of Beijing with visits to universities, businesses, and cultural sites including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square. Up next is the city of Xian, historically significant as the starting point of the Silk Road and home of the Terracotta Warriors, which today has become an important industrial and educational center with facilities for research and development, national security, and China's space exploration program. Next on the itinerary is the "Garden City" of Suzhoh, built in 514 BC and renowned for its canals, classical gardens, and lakes. Shanghai, a global financial center and the world's largest city by population, will conclude this 10-day international experience. There, students will tour Haas Automation Asia Company to see an example of economic partnership between China and a well-known U.S. firm. All along the way, there will be ample opportunity for shopping excursions so that students can experience China's socialist market economy firsthand. In a country where price haggling is expected, business skills learned in the MBA program may help students bring home a prized souvenir.
Student presentations of their travel experiences will be held at the Thousand Oaks campus in mid-April following the trip. An announcement of this event will be made in March.
