Meanwhile, MSUM is pushing international boundaries with its Doing Business in Germany study abroad program. Led by two German-speaking professors, this program takes over 20 students to Germany each year, allowing them to connect with the head of the Global Division of Ernst & Young, a globally connected multidisciplinary professional services organization.
“[Doing Business in Germany] fits with one of the requirements for all the students in the Paseka School of Business: that they must engage in some form of experiential activity. Students can participate in a course and be part of our Dragon Investment Fund, complete an internship, study abroad, or join the Executive Mentorship Program,” said Dr. Peter Sherman, dean of the College of Business, Analytics and Communication at MSUM.
Sherman also discussed the college’s focus on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) throughout the curriculum, specifically in the Paseka School of Business at MSUM.
“Our advisory boards have indicated that they want our students to graduate with the ability to functionally use AI in all aspects of business because it is a critical component of the modern landscape,” he said. “A year and a half ago, we were discussing how to ban AI in the classroom; now we are figuring out how to embrace it.”
