Previous International Courses Abroad
For most working professionals, global issues involving culture, communication, economics, labor, negotiation styles, joint ventures and acquisitions, or new markets are fundamental parts of their organizational lives. To support this, Organizational Dynamics offers seminars with a global focus, as well as seminars that take place in cities abroad.
International Course Abroad (ICA) Seminars, which include travel from 2 - 14 days, are offered in the spring and summer semesters. Recent programs have traveled to and studied in Montreal, Canada; Beijing and Shanghai, China; Prague, Czech Republic; Seoul, Korea; Stockholm, Sweden; Paris, France, and Mangalore, Bangalore and Mumbai, India. Course requirements are similar to traditional classes in that they involve readings, interactive discussions, and written assignments. Classes meet at Penn before and after travel. During periods of travel, class activities include meetings and lectures with representatives from business, government, academia, and the arts; visits to various institutions and organizations; and individual time to become immersed in the culture. ICA Seminars permit a student to directly see and feel how people in another society, with its own institutions and cultures, plans, organize, and practices.
Descriptive Information about each course, including travel logistics and details, tuition/fees, reservations and registration are provided in each course description. Penn students enrolled in other graduate programs must follow special instructions for ICA registrations as noted in the course description
