Abstract

Globalization and student career preparation are major priorities for business schools, and are critical for hiring criteria by businesses. This study examines and determines differences between two diverse student groups – United States and international – as to their applied projects’ learning outcomes. The sample is from a university with a diverse student population that also encourages applied course projects and other “real world” learning experiences. The results found significant differences between the two groups. From the students’ self-report and the instructor’s results, international students had higher learning outcomes than U.S. students.
