Philadelphia Experience
Upon completion of the Fall term studies in Paris or Mumbai, IMBA migrate to Philadelphia where they pursue the next six months at Temple University's Fox School of Business. Relocating to Philadelphia places you in the heart of the northeast corridor in the US, between New York City and Washington, DC.Philadelphia, the second largest metropolitan region on the East Coast of the US, is home to dozens of global headquarters for multinationals in a variety of industries, and the city serves as a cosmopolitan laboratory for students as they gain a hands-on experience through their management consulting practicum.
During course work in Philadelphia, global exposure continues through guest speakers and significant engagement with the business community. Integrated course work revolves around the "Enterprise Management Consulting" (EMC) project, as students apply concepts and theories from course work on behalf of their clients. Through the EMC project, you meet with senior-level industry leaders, conduct interviews or attend professional conferences to help advance your client’s goals.
In the final month of the Philadelphia program, students present at the annual Temple University Venture Fair. Introductory Japanese language classes, along with a pre-orientation for the summer semester in Shanghai and Tokyo are included in this sequence.
Beginning in 2009, courses will be offered at the brand new, state-of-the-art Alter Hall on Temple University's main campus.
