International Seminars in Business and Business Ethics

As students prepare for professional life in business, business management and economics/finance, global perspectives and sensitivities are critical to their success. Students who have traveled abroad gain an appreciation for business opportunities in international markets, develop an awareness of different business practices and corporate culture in other lands, and develop skills that will enable them to interact with peers throughout the world.

Illume has developed short-term intensive international seminars for business students in venues around the world. These seminars include presentations by local business leaders, on-site visits to companies based both in the USA and in foreign countries, and local cultural sightseeing and activities that broaden students' perspectives.

These programs offer students the opportunity to interact with other cultures, understand the local business environment, compare and contrast approaches to business ethics, and gain an appreciation for the local culture through sightseeing and inter-cultural exchanges with local employees and business leaders.
