EMBA - Global Study - India

Courses commonly taught during this residency focus on key local and multinational companies, current economic issues and culture for framing the conduct of global business. These courses could include:

A typical residency day includes three case method classes (some of which are taught by multiple faculty during a single class session — watch this Darden Team Teaching video to learn more) and learning team meetings in the evening.
