Welcome back to Trivia Tuesday! As our regular readers know, Trivia Tuesday is our weekly examination of the programs and policies, details and distinctions of the leading business schools. Today we turn our attention to Stanford’s Global Management Program.
Established by students and faculty in 1994, the Global Management Program (GMP) is the student-facing arm of the Center for Global Business and the Economy. Complementing the faculty research that the center facilitates, the GMP offers both academic and experiential opportunities for students interested in global management.
The Global Management Immersion Experience (GMIX) is a month-long internship that takes place at the end of the summer following a student’s first year, usually after a longer traditional internship. Following the international experience itself, students complete a research project and compose a paper on a topic related to their internship, earning two units of credit. Also worth two units of credit, the Stanford-Tsinghua Exchange Program (STEP) is less intense but longer-term. Stanford GSB students participating in the program are paired with an MBA student at the Tsinghua University School of Economics. The two work together throughout the academic year on a research project of mutual interest, and each take a week-long trip to the other campus for a visit focused not just on academics, but also on visits to local businesses as well as social and cultural activities.
Students interested in the Global Management Program can also take advantage of Global Study Trips and community-wide events, such as the Global Speaker Series and Conferences.
