Consulting Abroad Program

Please note: The mobility portion of GWSB’s spring and summer 2020 international and domestic experiential programs have been cancelled, including the Consulting Abroad Program (CAP), Short-Term Study Away Programs (STAPs), and the D.C.-based Business & Society Series.

As part of the Global MBA curriculum, all GMBA students participate in the Consulting Abroad Program (CAP) during the spring semester of their first year of study. CAP is an action-learning international program in which teams of GMBA candidates, with the support of expert GWSB faculty mentors, apply what they have learned in the classroom to find sustainable solutions to business problems faced by their global partners.

Locations

Project work may vary by location and topic each year as Global & Experiential Education seeks diversity in geographic region and business sector when evaluating opportunities for CAP engagements.
