Under the Launch career development platform, all students graduate with at least two experiential learning opportunities on their transcripts. Guaranteed.
This shortTREC program will count towards this out-of-the-classroom requirement in Drew’s rigorous curriculum.
Journey through the foothills of Northern Italy, taking in small, medieval towns and elegant, modern cities while learning firsthand about Italian global business strategies, with a focus on technology, apparel, and wine production. Tour must-see heritage landmarks, examining them with an entrepreneur’s—rather than a tourist’s—eye.
Social Good as Smart Business
What business models best address globalization challenges? What is the history of corporate social responsibility in Italy? How can social entrepreneurship be leveraged to address global challenges and opportunities?
Synthesize Academic and Experiential Learning
Study Italy’s long engagement with economic globalization, through readings, site visits, and meetings with businesspeople. Examine historic and recent examples of socially responsible businesses, and understand how globalization shapes these enterprises. Write a final research paper integrating academic theory with personal observation.
Launch-Endorsed Immersive Experience
While exposure to diverse global economic challenges is a career builder for students of any major, the content of this program is especially instructive to those interested in social entrepreneurship and the challenges of balancing ethics and profits globally.
