Immersion Learning

Johnson's unique immersion program is an intense, hands-on semester of integrated course and field work in a specific industry or career interest.

The immersion experience combines:
  • Cutting-edge course work
  • Outstanding faculty
  • Coaching by leading business practitioners
  • Problem solving under actual business conditions
Immediate benefits of immersion learning are:
  • Concentrated, applied knowledge in a chosen field 
  • Networking with premier companies, faculty, and practitioners 
  • Problem-solving experience in real-life situations 
  • Preferred status with summer recruiters and long-term employers 
How it works:
  • Students in the two-year MBA program complete the bulk of the Core MBA coursework during their first semester. 
  • In the second semester of their first year, most choose an immersion learning experience, plunging them into electives, site visits, and live cases aimed at getting them up to speed in their area of interest.
