International experiencerequirement

With the rapid globalization of business, the Carlson School has introduced an international experience requirement for all undergraduates. Unique among public business schools, the requirement reflects our belief that there is no substitute for the first-hand exposure that international experience offers. Most important, it gives students hands-on opportunities to develop a global perspective as part of their business education.
