Special Events

Each year brings a variety of opportunities for iMBA students to add something special to their learning experience, including off-site classes, plant tours, and group trips.

New York City
Syracuse University’s permanent location in the heart of midtown Manhattan--Lubin House--provides an excellent base camp for several programs. An annual finance course in value and distress investing provides invaluable guest lectures by the Whitman School’s benefactor. The location on the corner of Madison Avenue also prompted a new course in marketing retail strategy.

Washington, DC
Our nation’s capital is the site of another permanent location for Syracuse University. The site has been the host of an iMBA course on business and government relations featuring a full slate of guest speakers from both the public and private sectors.

Plant Tours
The Operations Management course has taken advantage of the manufacturing legacy of upstate New York to showcase world class facilities of Anheuser-Busch, the Marietta Corporation, and Welch Allyn. Plant tours are also an integral part of a typical international group study tour.

Group Trips
iMBA students have participated in a closing ceremony at the NASDAQ stock exchange as well as a full-day visit with Warren Buffet at Berkshire Hathaway headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.
