Kelley in Oxford (Summer 2013)

The Program

Spend the summer studying in Oxford, England! Kelley is offering BUS D365: Cross Cultural Management at Jesus College in Oxford in July 2013. This three credit hour course, taught by Kelley Professor Patricia McDougall-Covin with guest lectures by Oxford faculty, will help you develop a cross cultural sensitivity and strengthen your cross cultural knowledge and skills. You will examine the implications of national culture on business practices, leadership approaches, communication, and interpersonal relations in various international settings.

Students who matriculated before May 2011 may use the course toward the International Dimension Requirement. The course does not apply to the World Language and Cultures requirement nor the sophomore Global Foundation Core. This course may be applied as an elective toward the International Business co-major.

You should plan to arrive at Jesus College on July 8, 2013. The course will take place July 9-July 28. You will be required to check out of your room the morning of July 28. All students will stay in single dorm rooms on campus. Professor McDougall-Covin and one additional Kelley staff member will also be staying on campus. The program will include several field trips to institutions in and around London and Oxford. You will also have some free time to explore on your own.

Once accepted to the program, you will register for D365 via OneStart and will pay normal tuition fees via the Bursar. In addition, you will be charged $2,500.00 to cover housing July 8-28, daily breakfast, two dinners, and transportation for group excursions. This charge will appear on your bursar account and will be billed as follows. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit will be charged February 22, 2013. The remaining $2,000.00 will be charged on May 3, 2013. You will be responsible for arranging and paying for your own flights and transportation to and from Jesus College. You will also be responsible for any expenses not listed above such as remaining meals and passports.
