TMMBA heading to Germany & Estonia in 2017
TMMBA Students traveled to Japan for the 2016 Study Tour last March.
The TMMBA Program is pleased to announce that Berlin, Germany and Tallinn, Estonia will be the destinations for the 2017 TMMBA International Study Tour (IST). The Study Tour, which is an optional 2 credit C/NC course, will take place over spring break in March of 2017. It allows students, staff, and faculty to experience the dynamics of international business and culture first-hand, through personal meetings with executives, entrepreneurs, company visits, government agencies and cultural excursions.
Why did we choose these locations?
The TMMBA program has traveled to Germany before, but not to Berlin. Here, students are in Munich for the 2011 IST.
