Global Leadership Practicums

Undergraduate and graduate-level practicums introduce students to cross-cultural leadership and the development of cultural intelligence

Participating in a global leadership or cross-cultural practicum offers significant advantages to students and growing professionals. A practicum equips individuals with essential cross-cultural competency, cultural adaptability, and communication skills to manage situations in diverse cultural contexts. In an increasingly competitive global job market, this experience is a compelling asset that sets them apart from those who lack cross-cultural literacy.

A cross-cultural practicum provides a springboard for leadership development across many professions—from business and management to healthcare and cybersecurity. The practicums address specific learning objectives and challenge participants to make decisions, solve problems, and collaborate with professionals from various backgrounds. Most importantly, a global leadership or cross-cultural practicum cultivates a global mindset—and you are the person who can benefit from this unique educational experience.

Among the many benefits of a global or cross-cultural practicum include:

• Cultural intelligence
• Enhanced critical thinking
• Effective interpersonal skills
• Improved resilience

Our global practicums provide opportunities to network and build relationships with potential mentors, industry peers, and professionals from different cultures. Such an opportunity opens doors to international career opportunities and exposes individuals to diverse perspectives, enriching their personal and professional lives. Currently, we are planning a global practicum in Spain in the Spring of 2025—and more information will be posted on this page once information is available.

Invest in yourself and your own future as a global leader by participating in a global or cross-cultural practicum.
