To prepare FEMBA students for the challenges presented by this new world economy, UCLA Anderson launched the International Studies and Exchange Programs.

Ultimately, they gain a social and historical perspective that enables them to bridge communication barriers and successfully conduct business around the globe. (18 country choices.)

(GAP) takes students out of the classroom and into the boardroom. This six-month international field study is the capstone of the FEMBA program. The assignment: Match a team of final-year students with an entrepreneurial, early-stage international company. The students analyze and assess real-world problems, then work with management to find innovative solutions. The outcome: Along with breakthrough business solutions, students discover enhanced managerial tools, better problem-solving abilities and new leadership skills. Students act as consultants to their international GAP company. The program offers the opportunity to learn the cultural challenges of growing an international business providing GAP participants with an entrepreneurial experience as close to real life as possible. Students formally present their final business plan to a panel of judges composed of industry professionals. Final presentations include a Q&A period, emulating the real-world experience of presenting to venture capital firms and angel investors. A host of experienced faculty advisors support FEMBA students, guiding them through the six-month field-study project. Each GAP team has its own faculty advisor and sister team and advisor who serve as a sounding board and an additional resource.

UCLA Anderson offers all three. At the risk of sounding redundant, it bears repeating that BusinessWeek Magazines inaugural part-time ranking put UCLA Andersons FEMBA program #1 in the nation. They have also ranked UCLA Andersons faculty #1 in intellectual capital, twice. Those same faculty have been ranked #1 in entrepreneurship five of the last nine years by the Financial Times global alumni survey. Very high ratings, indeed.

Creating global leaders

Leading management thinking and preparing global leaders, that is the primary mission of the UCLA Anderson School of Management. It is vital that future leaders understand not only how business is conducted abroad, but also that they have a working knowledge of the economics of other countries, an appreciation for the political and legal frameworks in which businesses are conducted and are familiar with important historical and cultural aspects that have a bearing on how businesses in other countries operate.
Course desCription

The countries in which these classes are held are scheduled on a revolving basis. The content of the classes offered in the various countries changes depending on student and faculty interests.
aCCelerate, Customize, network

Accelerate the FEMBA curriculum with the intense one-week format, earning the same four credit units as our standard on-campus 10-week elective offerings. Acceleration allows students to complete their 84 credits as quickly as 27 months. Time saved can be used on additional elective courses at no extra tuition cost. In 2007 BusinessWeek voted the UCLA Anderson FEMBA Program #1 in the country. What do you do after youre #1? We created our International Studies and Exchange Programs to allow students to further customize their education. Starting with three countries, we rapidly expanded to 18 current country offerings, upgrading an already outstanding program. We pioneered Exchange Programs for part time MBA education. Networking opportunities abound in these intense one-week formats. A myriad of conversations are generated with fellow students including FEMBAs of other class years, Executive MBA students and MBA students of host universities.
Course schedule listed on back

UCLA Andersons International Studies courses and Exchange Programs provide an opportunity to gain this knowledge. These intensive one-week classes are held in a variety of countries and are taught either by UCLA Anderson faculty or by professors at top universities in the destination countries. Augmenting the classroom experience, students visit local companies and significant places of interest and hear from leading local business people. The coursework for these classes begins at UCLA Anderson a couple of months prior to actual travel. Lectures are held and students complete assignments so that they hit the ground running when they arrive at the destination country. Most classes also involve a follow-up assignment which is due after travel is completed.

Without question, the UCLA Anderson Global Access Program (GAP) is the culmination of the entire FEMBA experience. GAP brings everything together offering students the opportunity to apply their first two years of academic lectures, training and coursework to real world problems.

The Pressures are real, so are The beNefITs

The corporate world is the best arena for building true confidence and experience, and GAP affords this opportunity on an international scale. Our Global Access Program is a mandatory six-month consulting assignment that matches all third-year FEMBA students with international technology companies with highgrowth potential. Working in teams of five, these students conduct an in-depth assessment of the firms current business structure identifying problems and searching for fresh growth opportunities. While GAP is directed, planned and managed by students, a 14-member faculty team provides guidance and advice throughout the program.

business. They attend conferences, conduct interviews and meet with industry executives. GAP students work directly with corporate management as they become involved in all aspects of their business. This includes market assessment, competitive analysis, product development, finance, human relations, business communications, operations, sales, marketing, management and venture capital initiation. The students conduct extensive secondary research from the UCLA librarys vast business databases, followed by significant primary research in the target market and industry. Collectively, each GAP team invests over 2,500 hours as they develop an investment-quality business plan, including five days of research travel, very often to client sites around the world. At the end of the program, students deliver this business plan to an expert panel of industry professionals, investors and their companys management team. Recommendations may include the development of new products or

international companies secure financing, form partnerships, create new subsidiaries and open new distribution channels. Over $140,000,000 have been invested in these companies after reviewing the GAP team business plans. FEMBA students frequently report that GAP is the most challenging yet most rewarding experience of their academic career. GAP produces valuable connections, new career paths, and for some, even job offers. Others have gained the experience and confidence to move into strategic roles within their existing companies. Either way, GAP builds better executives and stronger companies helping both reach the next stage of their corporate development. To learn more about the UCLA Anderson Global Access Program, visit:

Engineers are brilliant at solving problems. Case in point: Former engineer Jim Easton, who now heads Easton Sports, recognized that engineers often have difficulty making the transition from an engineering role to a business-leadership role. His solution? Fund a leadership training program tailored to meet the specific needs of engineers. Jim Eastons gift to UCLA Anderson gives MBA students with engineering backgrounds the leadership skills, management knowledge and entrepreneurial disposition to successfully lead at the highest corporate level. This program is specifically designed for engineers to supplement their core curriculum. The program draws heavily upon faculty expertise in operations, technology management and human resources.

If your management aspirations also extend beyond the borders of this country, we suggest you seriously consider supplementing your FEMBA education with an Advanced International Management certificate. Why? Because managing an organization that includes different cultures and time zones requires new skills. A leadership style that may work in one region could be useless in another. Our AIM certificate prepares you for the challenges that an international leadership role presents. The AIM Program was established by the Center for International Business Education and Research, a leader in international business for over half a century. To learn more about AIM, visit:
