Is the Lauder program just a language program?
No, it’s a program that focuses on cross-cultural expertise and an understanding of the political, economic, social, and cultural contexts in which international business is conducted. So, beyond the strong language component, Lauder students not only acquire expertise in a particular region, they also “learn how to learn” these skills for new regions of interest. In addition, Lauder offers the benefit of learning with and from peers who are also pursuing international business. This network is established at the beginning of the program with the first summer cultural immersion experience, throughout your MBA/MA studies, and long after graduation as part of Lauder’s alumni community.
