As a learner in the online MBA program, you will attend two immersion experiences: one virtual and one on the University of Miami campus. The immersion on campus gives you the opportunity to apply your skills and network with peers and faculty in Miami for three to five days. 

The one-credit Leading Change in Organizations immersion explores how to manage challenges associated with organizational change processes in order to overcome obstacles and ensure that changes are sustainable over time. The two-credit Negotiations immersion covers topics such as power, persuasion, problem-solving, ethics, and cross-cultural negotiation through self-assessment, role-play negotiation exercises, and case studies.
