Program Experiences and Trips
Baylor’s Online MBA program values experiential learning and provides students with the opportunity to customize their MBA by incorporating an in-person residential experience. We firmly believe that while our program is 100% online, students should have the option to customize their learning experience with interactive, on-the-road opportunities beyond the virtual classroom.
Choose from three unique program trips* to enhance your educational journey.
