It has become commonplace among the best business schools in the United States to open campuses on other continents, or to form alliances with established business schools around the globe.  These schools generally develop a global MBA program that includes time spent at one or more of these campuses located outside the United States, either as students, or as business interns, or both.  Often the global MBA is an option that working businessmen will pursue after they have several years of business experience.  The opportunity to study in China or the UK or India also gives students the opportunity to network, which many MBA graduates believe is one of the most important aspects of the MBA experience.  It is likely that students from other nations who choose to study in U.S. business schools find networking with future businessmen and with business school alumni to be a valuable experience as well.  Here is a brief list of top tier U.S. business schools with global educational programs.

1.      University of Chicago Booth School of Business offers an international MBA program that includes a year's study abroad at one of the thirty three partner institutions available to Booth MBA students.  Many spend the second year of their MBA program in one of the twenty one nations that have business schools with a working relationship with the University of Chicago, with classes offered in seven languages.
