French MBA Students Deepen Understanding of American Business and Society
Posted in News | Tagged Gateway
Over the course of three months, Gateway to Georgetown hosted nine programs on Business Management for graduate students from Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (UVSQ) in France.
Now in its eleventh year, the one-week programs are designed specifically for current UVSQ students who want to deepen their global understanding of business in the United States and gain new perspectives about American society. The programs included four days of classes led by Georgetown’s Department of Government and the McDonough School of Business, and a full day of guided visits to manufacturing plants in the DC metro area, including Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company, Canam Steel, and Pompeian, Inc.
Participant feedback of the 2019 spring and summer programs included the following two quotes from UVSQ students:
“The program was a great opportunity to live a week at the pace from an American university! We covered an extensive range of subjects in international business while interacting with a variety of professors and industry professionals. I found the practical solutions for managing process not people especially useful! Thanks again for putting on a great course.”
“The program was a very rewarding and rich experience that has changed my perception of the United States. We are very lucky to have this opportunity at such a prestigious university.”
