Shanghai, China

As China's largest and most progressive city, Shanghai offers culture, history, people and all the vigor and vitality you expect from an international metropolis. Shanghai is home to more than eight million people and is the center of China's manufacturing, finance and service industries. It also boasts the world's busiest port.

Webster University was the first American University to receive approval from the Beijing Ministry of Education to offer joint MBA instruction in China. Courses use the city as a living classroom, weaving together excursions, case studies, lectures, team research and presentations. Students learn from global faculty who can offer particular insight in China as an evolving global economic force.

In addition to coursework during the 9-week stay in Shanghai, you have the opportunity to experience business in China as you meet with executives from international companies such as British Petroleum, InBev/Anhueser-Busch and General Electric.

"Hearing the perspectives of my Chinese classmates and professors, and experiencing life around town has certainly enriched my learning experience more than I could’ve imagined. Also, I don’t care what anybody says…nowhere else in the world can you find street food this delicious and cheap." Mike Douglas, Global MBA '09
