Location: Part of the study will be at the University of Oklahoma. The remainder will take place in either Asia or Europe:
- Asia: Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Macau, and Hong Kong
- Europe: Budapest, Frankfurt, and London.
The class will visit advertising agencies, public relations firms and potentially some marketing firms in the region of choice. There will be time for students to visit some sites of their choice.
