The IXP Objective: Learning through Context
T o develop outstanding leaders who will make a difference in the world demands a business education that is both practical and far-reaching. NiA's International Experience program (IXP) maximizes participant-centred learning experiences by integrating the School's distinctive case method of teaching with field-based learning activities that integrate first- and second-year students during a semester break.
The cornerstone of the IXP is the expertise of faculty leaders who develop program content around key teaching objectives reached through global field-based learning activities.
An IXP typically is comprised of a three-part learning experience:
* Pre-departure activities to introduce and prepare students for the IXP
* An intensive multi-day Industry Experience during the break that may combine travel, meetings, and student projects
* A post-program opportunity for sharing lessons learned with the wider NiA and Industry communities
The IXP Difference: Not a Trek
The IXP differs from the NiA Career Treks in several important ways. First and foremost, faculty leaders develop program content and lead each IXP. Second, faculty leaders' educational objectives shape IXP itineraries and activities.
Third, faculty leaders commit to the pedagogy of experiential learning, meaning that the IXP aims to go beyond creating educated tourists, instead facilitating the transmission of key ideas in managerial practice through learning activities. Fourth is the related commitment to help students learn by completing work projects and then sharing their experiences with the wider NiA community.
For the class of 2009-11, NiA is pleased to offer the following IXPs:
* London: Financial Management in challenging times
* New York: Meeting the emerging new world order.
* China: Understanding a Business Environment
* Europe: Europe Divided? The Economic Geography of Business
* India: Incredible India—New Opportunities and New Challenges
* Israel: The Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital "Miracle"
* Brazil: Business Opportunities in Emerging Markets |
