An MBA trek to Barcelona
Six nights for 34 MBA students and two faculty: company visits, an alumni evening, a session at a partner business school and a day exploring Gaudí's city.
Sample itineraryAn academic trip has to show what students learned, what it cost and how they were looked after. Students register once and see the program on their phone; faculty and the program office see the itinerary, the traveller list and who has paid, and the per-student cost is clear from the first proposal.
Highlights
- A per-student cost broken down by housing, transport, visits and meals
- Company visits and a partner-school session arranged around the syllabus
- An itinerary and traveller list the school's risk office can see
