UNM Faculty-Led International Programs
Study Abroad in Italy, Summer 2012
A special topics course will be offered in June 2012 for MBA students exploring international entrepreneurship in cultural industries. Advanced undergraduate students will also be allowed to complete the program with the permission of the instructor. The course will utilize the Italian context to study cultural entrepreneurship so that students may develop ideas for cultural entrepreneurship involving their home communities. The cultural industries studied will include agritourism and cultural tourism, wine, slow food, and design-intensive businesses. The class will join students from MGT 328 for a series of site visits and guest speakers. The course will be taught by UNM Professor Dante Di Gregorio. The price of the program will be $1,300 plus tuition for 3 credit hours. This price includes lodging, approximately one half of all meals, supplemental course materials, and excursions. It does not include airfare to Rome, certain meals, or the textbook.

This summer, Anderson will again be offering a Mexico summer study abroad program for both undergraduate (MGMT 490) and graduate students (MGMT 594).

Students will have the opportunity to earn 3 credit hours from UNM. The bi-national classroom, consisting of students from UNM and from the local area, will be led by UNM professor Doug Thomas (thomas@mgt.unm.edu) with numerous guest speakers (including former President Vicente Fox) and site visits. It will serve as a unique educational opportunity for students wishing to learn more about the Mexican economy and business environment.
