LAM 272Y - Intensive Course Abroad (4 Cr.)

(GCR-SA)
EMERGING MARKETS IN CUBA (BUS 272Y) This interdisciplinary course will allow students to gain a better understanding of Cuba’s history, culture, politics, economics and changing business environment, as a country in transition from a firmly state-controlled market to a more open market. A semester-long pre-course at Goucher during the spring semester will introduce students to the economic structures and business models now in place in Cuba as well as the country’s history and culture. This will be followed by a three-week intensive course in Cuba in May/June during which time students will visit Cuban businesses, large and small, will meet with local businessmen and businesswomen and will take part in various cultural excursions and activities. During the spring semester students will receive 1 credit for their work in the pre-course and, upon successful completion of the three-week ICA, they will receive an additional 3 credits cross-listed in Latin American Studies and Business Management. Prerequisite for LAM:   or instructor’s permission. Prerequisite for BUS:   or instructor’s permission. Grossman, Murphy.
