International Perspective (KIP) Field Study Course
The intent of this course is to provide students with the opportunity to
gain general knowledge of a country, as well as specific knowledge of a
business issue within that country. The course material, issues to be
investigated in the field study, and method of analysis will be developed by
students in the class under the guidance of the faculty advisor. Also,
students will be responsible for presenting relevant material at each class,
leading the class discussion, and for organizing in-country speakers,
events, and trip logistics. The course will culminate in a trip of
approximately 10 days duration for field research in the designated country,
accompanied by the faculty advisor who will supervise the research.
