Significant changes since 1997

Xavier has enhanced the required international business component from 3 semester hours to 7 semester hours and reduced strategy from 4 semester hours to 3 semester hours.

The school has significantly increased the use of Lotus Notes/Learning Space to enhance students' ability to virtually team outside of the classroom. The students have networked laptops while in the classroom and Internet access via a Notes Domino server from anywhere in the world.


Special trips or projects outside of country
Mandatory

An 11-day foreign field experience is mandatory. Students choose from among three options: London/Munich, Tokyo/Singapore, or Buenos Aires/Sao Paulo.
