Studying for an MBA degree could give you the opportunity to make a difference in places you never thought possible.
Under the State Department's Empowerment in Strategic Regions program, volunteer MBA students have the opportunity to help develop business plans for projects in places from Pakistan to the Philippines.
The idea behind the program is that promoting economic growth and job creation is one of the best ways to head off extremism and to help ease poverty in troubled regions of the world.
"Whether pursued for profits or as 'corporate social responsibility,' these approaches are already empowering entrepreneurs in challenging areas of the world and delivering hope and opportunity to vulnerable populations," says the program's 2008 Year-End Summary.
With an increasingly international and diverse business climate, one way to get an advantage over the competition is to pursue work or study experience in other countries. Recent news reports have indicated growing interest in this among MBA degree students on both sides of the Atlantic, while employers are said to also increasingly favor candidates who have international experience.
