Global Study Trips
Duquesne's MBA Sustainability program prepares you for leadership development in a highly networked, global marketplace. Our global study experiences introduce students to leading edge business practices, and provide face-to-face interaction with the world's leading sustainability experts.
Each year, faculty-led study groups explore countries where businesses, governments and others are addressing pressing social and environmental challenges.
Appointments with senior managers from industry, consultancies, and university-led seminars will broaden your technical and cultural understanding, and foster future collaboration and partnerships.
Costs for educational activities and room accommodations are included in your flat-rate tuition.
