Lauder Institute - Summer Immersion

Summer Immersion

After admission, first-year students arrive in the beginning of May and spend four weeks preparing for their Summer Immersion. Preparation includes courses in the area history of their chosen regions as well as courses in management strategy. All students depart for their respective countries the first week of June and return at the end of July.

During the trip, students attend a daily language class and various lectures on the history, art, politics, and culture of the individual country. Students visit both businesses and cultural sights in the country they are visiting and collaborate on a management consulting project. Whenever possible, students stay with a host family.
