Location

Hyderabad has developed into a major hub for information technology. Madhapur and the Hyderabad Information Technology Engineering Consultancy City (HITEC City) are the center of the regional IT boom. Biotechnology and pharmaceuticals are also important regional industries, and Hyderabad is home to the world's largest film studio, the Ramoji Film City. The Indian School of Business in Hyderabad is within the top 15 best global business schools in the 2010 MBA rankings by Financial Times.

Delhi is the capitol of India. As the national seat of political power and a center of commerce and culture, Delhi has grown rapidly in recent decades to become a cosmopolitan city of nearly 22.2 million residents. With a relatively high personal income level, Delhi has India's largest retail industry. As a result, land prices are booming and Delhi is ranked the seventh most expensive office city in the world.

Schedule

Pre-departure class sessions familiarize students with the case they'll be researching. In India, students will spend their time in class sessions, at company site visits, and working in groups to prepare for their case presentation.

Housing and Food

Students are housed either in suites on the ISB campus or conveniently located hotels. Students will share a room with one or two classmates of their same gender. Because networking and community-building are key parts of the program, students will not have the option of a single room. Guests are not permitted during the program. Breakfast daily, a welcome dinner, and a closing dinner are provided.

Cost Estimate

The program fee is $1,800, which covers program administration, international health insurance, housing, most course materials, transportation to all site visits, and some meals. Airfare, additional meals, personal travel, and expenses are not covered by the program fee.

The 4 academic credits for this program will be charged at the University of Minnesota Part-Time MBA per-credit resident rate for 2010–2011. Please see One Stop for more information about tuition and fees.
