Realizing the importance of a global approach to education, Terry is planning an optional overseas trip to Cuba or China in the 2006-2007 academic year that will expose Evening MBA students to international business practices and culture. The trips will be scheduled during the UGA spring break week (including weekends) and/or the break between spring and summer semesters. While subject to change, we expect the approximate cost of the trips to be $1,800 for Cuba and $3,000 for China and includes airfare, accommodations and most meals. Three hours of elective academic credit is earned for trip participation, however, tuition is not included in the cost of the trip and is paid separately at course registration.
A required team-building day we affectionately refer to as the Outdoor Adventure is an early highlight of the program. Associated with the MGMT 7010 leadership course, this daylong event sets the stage for getting to know your classmates in a fun and supportive environment. It was initiated in an effort to move away from the traditional competitive atmosphere of the MBA classroom and toward an atmosphere where teamwork, cooperation, and personal challenge are paramount. Taking advantage of the university ropes course in the Oconee Forest located on main campus in Athens, MBA students cooperate in low elements such as the "wild woozy" and "spider web" and high elements such as the "catwalk", "zip line" and "pamper pole." These challenging exercises test and develop the ability to trust, effectively communicate, take risks, and work toward common goals.
