INTRODUCTION
Wharton Global Immersion Programs (GIPs) are elective, half credit courses designed to provide a highlevel survey of the economic, cultural and geo-political drivers behind regions integral to the global
economy. GIPs are designed with a focus on the student and include opportunities for participant input in
shaping the experience. They are recognized as unique opportunities, providing students with exclusive
access to high-level business, cultural and political leaders. Since its inception in 1993, more than 2,100
Wharton MBA students have participated in the GIP. Many have returned saying it was one of the
highlights of their Wharton careers.
This year, the Fall 2014 Southeast Asia GIP (MGMT656-003) will travel to Jakarta, Bali, Kuala Lumpur,
and Singapore. On campus sessions take place during quarter 4. The immersion experience (study tour) will
take place between December 28, 2014 - January 10, 2015.
Academic Study
The Middle East Global Immersion Program begins with a full quarter of on-campus sessions designed to
establish a foundational knowledge of the region while introducing relevant topics in business, government,
politics, culture, and safety, which are conducted by faculty and staff area specialists. Along with a series of
faculty lectures, co-curricular sessions may be included in preparation for group travel. For example, during
one session, professionals from Student Health Services will provide an important health and safety
overview and travel health documents to inform students of necessary immunizations and other health and
safety resources. Students are responsible for obtaining the requisite medical clearances distinct to the
region. Students are also provided information on business etiquette, language and cultural expectations.
These required sessions will take place on Mondays, 4:30-6:30pm, in Quarter 2. In order to participate,
you must have this timeslot available in your course schedule. Our scheduling system will not allow a time conflict .
If you have a class conflict, you will be ineligible to register for the GIP.
Immersion Experience
The immersion experience component takes place between December 28, 2014 and January 10, 2015. The
program will travel to four distinct places: Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and largest city in Southeast Asia;
the beautiful island of Bali; Kuala Lumpur, cultural melting pot and capital of Malaysia; and lastly, the citystate of Singapore, one of the world’s major commercial hubs. Student participants are required to be present for the
entirety of the immersion experience. Students may arrive any time on Sunday, December 28 and they may depart
any time on Saturday, January 10. Note: Students leaving from the United States will need to depart by
December 27.

The immersion experience will include several different types of experiences:
Organizational Visits: This portion of the program is designed to
introduce students to the region through direct interaction with
locally based organizations. Through meetings with business,
government and cultural leaders, students experience unique
aspects of business in the region, better realize how market forces
influence decision making, and explore potential concerns and
opportunities for continued growth. Visits to production facilities
as well as corporate headquarters reveal how management decisions
directly affect operations and personnel.
The government’s influence on an economy can vary dramatically between countries. Students may explore
the interaction between the public and private sectors by meeting with officials from national and regional
regulatory agencies. Through these experiences, students receive an introduction to government commercial
policy and its effectiveness.
Cultural Experiences: The immersion experience is punctuated by opportunities to explore regional
culture, thus building toward an appreciation of its influence on the society. Cultural experiences often take
the form of planned group events including excursions to areas of cultural significance or interactions with
Wharton alumni. Cultural experiences introduce students to societal norms without the constraint of
prescribed expectations. In this safe environment, students are encouraged to learn through exploration.
During the Southeast Asia 2014 tour, the following tours are included in the program fee: Kuala Lumpur
City Tour (including Petronas Twin Towers), Batu Caves Tour, Malacca Tour, Singapore City Tour, and
NYE party in Bali.
Reflective Learning
Reflective learning is achieved through faculty-led group discussions designed to draw forth and disseminate
valuable insights before and during the immersion experience. Additionally, students are called to participate
in several written assignments, which culminate in a final reflective piece.
• Company Profiles: Each student is expected to function as a member of a team and produce a profile of
a company of regional significance, usually one to be visited during the study tour. Company Profiles
provide the class with crucial background about the companies they are to visit, including relevant
trends and issues. Completed profiles will be compiled in a program brochure. Students may be called
upon to offer a brief presentation of their profile during the study-tour.
• Visit Summaries: Each student is expected to function as a member of a team and produce a 1-2 page
summary of an assigned organizational or cultural visit. These summaries serve as a valuable resource
while preparing the final paper. They must be posted to the GIP Canvas site prior to the conclusion of
the immersion experience.
• Reflections: During the immersion experience, students will participate in a series of reflective discussions
designed to draw forth and disseminate valuable insights. Students are expected to participate by sharing
their interpretation of group and personal experiences while reflecting on those of others.
• Final Written Assignment: The final paper serves as a capstone for the experience. It is written by an
individual participant and focuses on a singular theme pertaining to the GIP experience, drawing upon
the knowledge obtained during academic study. The paper requirement is typically 2000-2500 words in
length and is due approximately a month after returning from the immersion experience.
Please refer to the Timeline of Deliverables for specific due dates.
Grading
The GIP course may only be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. For this reason, it does not count toward the 1cu of
P/F permitted each semester.
Each component of the course has a specific point value. Each student may lose 10 points and still pass the
course. Students who lose 11 points or more will fail the course. There is no partial credit. The points
system permits some flexibility for extracurricular activities, travel, homework, recruiting, etc. Unavoidable
situations such as illnesses or family emergencies which may cause a participant to lose more points than
allowable must be discussed with the program administration prior to the absence. Excuses provided after
an absence has occurred may not be accepted. Missing an element of the course deemed indispensable may
result in immediate failure.

[email protected], 215-898-5623 – 300 Huntsman Hall
The Planning Team
Program Director
Program Directors work in concert with GIP Administration and Student Coordinators to schedule visits
with organizations integral to the socio-economic climate of the region of study. In this capacity, directors:
• Review and respond to student-contributed company/industry suggestions
• Assess the feasibility/value of visits
• Liaise with faculty, alumni, administrators and students to choose and plan visits
• Ensure that visits present a well-rounded view of the country and its business environment
The director’s most important role during the travel experience is working to ensure group safety.
To the extent possible, directors have an operational knowledge of participants’ whereabouts at all times and
know how to contact individual participants and requisite services in the event of an emergency.
Directors enforce the trip’s attendance policies and are responsible for communicating and managing the
itinerary. Directors are responsible for initiating student-led company briefs prior to the visit and leading
discussion afterwards. During visits, directors introduce the group, exchange business cards and conclude
each visit with a public “thank you” and presentation of gifts on behalf of the students, GIP and Wharton.
Program Coordinator(s)
Student Coordinators are expected to represent the voice of the student participants. They work in concert
with GIP Administration and Program Directors to schedule visits that deepen participants’ understanding
of the socio-economic climate of the region. In this capacity, coordinators:
•
•
•
Assess the feasibility of visits
Contribute to the conversation with regard to the value of visits
Liaise with alumni and students to choose and plan visits
Coordinators assist in determining the logistical details of visits and are familiar with the organizations they
will be visiting. Coordinators draw from their own personal expertise and that of their network to furnish
suggestions with regard to visits as well as restaurants, bars, and other cultural attractions in each location.
During the immersion experience, student coordinators are available to participants at all times.
Coordinators serve as interpreters as necessary. They are also expected to explain and anticipate (to a
reasonable degree) cultural nuances that may impact the group’s ability to negotiate a situation or deepen
their awareness.
Coordinators are responsible for arranging optional social activities for participants throughout the trip.
Fee Information
2014 Program Fee: $3,700
Tuition covers the academic costs associated with the GIP. An additional program fee is assessed to cover
travel-related expenses. All students must pay the program fee prior to departing for the immersion
experience.
Assuming a minimum of 20 participants, the additional program fee will be announced during pre-term. The
program has a maximum enrollment of 35 students. Faculty, Directors, and Coordinators are not included
in this maximum.
This fee includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Intra-trip travel - travel between cities once the group has arrived in the region
Group transportation to included activities and organizational visits
Overnight accommodations - GIP participants are required to stay at the group’s hotel. The program fee
is based on double occupancy (Single occupancy requests must be made in advance of the roommate
selection deadline.)
Activities and excursions as noted in the itinerary (“Optional” excursions not included)
Breakfasts
Opening and Closing Receptions
Some staff travel
Internet access throughout the program
Related fees (interpreters, guides, etc.)
Tips for guides, drivers & interpreters arranged for by the program
Airport Taxes
Travel Agent services
The fee does not include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Inter-program airfare (travel to and from the region) - Because the GIP starts and ends in different
cities, it is often difficult for students to take advantage of roundtrip flight packages. Students have
found kayak.com’s “multi-city” feature helpful in bundling flights.
Meals & beverages (except breakfasts)
Travel insurance - It is highly recommended that students purchase travel insurance to cover their interprogram airfare and program fee. The School will only reimburse the program fee if the School cancels
the program. The University recommends using TravelGuard.
Travel documents (passports, visas, photos, etc.) - Advance entry visas may be necessary depending on
the country to be visited and the participant’s citizenship. Visa fees are not included in the program cost
and learning about and obtaining the requisite visas is the responsibility of the participant. The GIP
Administration is able to provide letters of participation upon request.
•
Health insurance & immunizations - The University contracts with International SOS to provide
students, faculty, and administrators with worldwide access to emergency international medical,
security, and travel assistance. This is not a health care service, but instead an emergency assistance
provider. The University recommends purchasing HTH, which offers an international health care
plan that is subsidized by Penn: http://www.hthstudents.com/ge.cfm?ac=HCW-20168
NOTE: Student health insurance offered by the University of Pennsylvania may not be accepted as valid payment for
medical services in many GIP destinations. Participants with UPENN’s student health insurance who avail
themselves of medical services while travelling abroad will be expected to pay upfront for services rendered and submit a
reimbursement claim after services have been rendered.
Individual recreation, optional tours, and/or side trips
All other services not enumerated in this document
Past participants have recommended at least $500 in personal funds per two weeks of travel. Actual costs
vary depending on one’s spending habits and may be impacted by the type, manner and quality of chosen
recreational experiences; additional travel; exchange rates; etc.
Loans
Student loans may be available to those enrolled in the Global Immersion Program (GIP). Loan
Funding may be applied to cover the cost of the GIP fee, the estimated cost of international travel and $500
per two weeks of travel for personal expenses. Student loans may be possible only if the GIP is required for
graduation. Second years who have earned 19cu prior to completion of the GIP are not eligible for student
loans. Students borrowing funds are strongly encouraged to submit your loan applications early, as disbursal
may take 4-6 weeks. Please note, students will not be able to apply for additional loans until after being
formally enrolled in the course. For more information, contact the Tammy Carter
([email protected]).
Waitlist
Students on GIP waitlists will not incur a financial obligation unless they accept a seat, at which time the
GIP program fee will be billed directly through SFS and the same deadlines listed on the deliverables page
will apply.
Registration and Billing
Registration for this course takes place outside of Course Match via a lottery. To register for the lottery,
please sign and return the attached forms to the MBAPO by 5:00pm on September 30. Students who are
interested in more than one program within a semester, may submit the respective forms for both programs
however, it is only possible to win one seat. Students must note on the registration forms which course they
prefer in the event that they win both. There will not be an opportunity to weigh both programs after the lottery is
complete. Students may withdraw their forms from the lottery any time before 5:00pm on September 30.
After 5:00pm on September 30 a lottery will be conducted. All students who win a seat in the lottery will
immediately be enrolled in the course and held financially responsible for the program fee, billed to the
student bursar bill. Students will receive notification of their enrollment status by 12:00pm on October 1.
The GIP fee will be billed directly through Student Financial Services (SFS) and will appear on students’
University bills. This charge will be billed immediately following enrollment. All GIP program fees must be
paid prior to departure on the study tour. Participants with outstanding fees at the time of departure
will not be permitted to travel with the GIP or participate in the program.
Note: Payments received toward outstanding bursar bills are applied against the oldest charges first - students must be paid in
full through GIP charges in order to participate in the immersion experience.
Questions regarding billing may be addressed to the Student Accounts Office at 215.898.4212
Cancellations
The Wharton School reserves the right to cancel any immersion program for any reason prior to the date of
departure. In such cases, the Wharton School will not assume the cost of individual travel arrangements
made by participants. For this reason, it is highly recommended that travel insurance be purchased.
•
If the Wharton School cancels any immersion program for any reason before the date of departure, all monies received for
the program fee will be refunded to program participants.
•
If a student wishes to withdraw his/her registration forms from the lottery before 5:00pm on September 30, 2014 there
is no financial penalty.
•
By executing and submitting the registration form by 5:00pm on September 30, 2014 the student agrees that if
awarded a seat in the lottery, hence securing his/her space on the program, he/she is liable for 50% of the program fee.
This portion of the fee is non-refundable.
•
If the participant cancels after 5:00pm on September 30, 2014 and another student is able to commit (add course via
Spike, sign and submit waiver forms) to taking her/his place by 5:00pm on October 23, 2014, the participant
cancelling will not be charged for the program and the newly enrolled participant will assume the costs and expectations as
outlined in the registration packet.
• Replacements are only permitted through October 23, 2014, not after.
•
If the participant cancels after 5pm on September 30, 2014 but before 5pm on September 30, 2014 and has not
found a replacement, she/he will receive a 50% refund if the program fee has already been paid. If the fee has not been paid
the charge to the participant’s account will be adjusted down by 50%. In these circumstances, the participant will be
responsible for 50% of the program fee regardless of whether or not the bill has been paid at the time of cancellation.
•
If a participant cancels after October 23, 2014, the entire program fee is owed and/or forfeited.
For persons who depart early due to medical or bereavement reasons, there is no guarantee of a refund but
every effort will be made to recover all remaining accommodation and travel expenses.
NOTE: Circumstances surrounding the potential of said refund may not be known until after the program’s conclusion.
Group Expectations
The Global Immersion Program is intended to be a comprehensive learning experience. Sessions prior to
departure and during the immersion experience are designed to fulfill the academic requirements of the
course while introducing students to regional culture and accounting for the safety and expectations of the
program’s participants. During the immersion experience, except in the case of family crisis or medical
emergency, students are required to participate in the entirety of the planned program. Potential participants
who cannot commit to the entirety of the immersion experience and/or on-campus sessions should not
register.
Traveling with a large group over several weeks demands a keen understanding of group dynamics. Special
care should be given to balancing the demands of the individual and the needs of the group. This is
especially pertinent when traveling in an unfamiliar environment. Participants’ willingness to participate
constructively in group discussions/decisions enhances the quality of the program. Students who choose
not participate or have a strongly negative or subversive influence on the group’s dynamic may be asked to
leave the group in which case they would forfeit the program fee and fail the course.
The Wharton School, through its authorized representatives, reserves the right to expel from any immersion
program participants whose conduct is detrimental or dangerous to the group or the good name of the
Wharton School. Any cancellation fees or additional costs incurred by a participant as a result of expulsion
are the responsibility of the participant. No refunds or program fee reductions will be made and the
participant will receive a failing grade (F) for the course.

CODE OF CONDUCT
Participants in Wharton’s Global Immersion Program represent not only themselves but also the Wharton
School and the University of Pennsylvania. Public errors in judgment and/or inappropriate conduct may
result not only in repercussions for an individual but also risk jeopardizing the safety and security of the
group and causing irreparable damage to the Global Immersion Program, the Wharton brand and the good
reputation of the University of Pennsylvania. As participants’ behavior will not be perpetually monitored it
is incumbent upon the individual to consider the potential for the negative implications associated with
unacceptable or dangerous behavior. Participants who engage in behavior deemed unacceptable by the
Program Director or GIP administration will be removed from the experience.
Participants are required to be aware of and observe the laws of countries visited during the immersion
experience.
The GIP is a credit-bearing course sanctioned by the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania; as
such participants are subject to and accountable for upholding Wharton and Penn policies regardless of
physical location. The integrity of the course will be enforced by Program Directors. Violations of this
integrity do damage to the Wharton brand and will not be tolerated.
Attention should be paid to the stresses associated with balancing the demands of the individual and the
needs of the group. Participants are expected to listen to and follow the direction of program staff
throughout the immersion experience, especially in circumstances impacting the safety of the group or an
individual.
Participants who have concerns about the conduct of the staff or their classmates should notify Program
Coordinators, Directors, GIP Administration, or the MBA Program Office.
Consequences for Failing to Abide by the GIP Code of Conduct
The Wharton School, through its authorized representatives, reserves the right to expel from the GIP any
participant whose conduct is detrimental to the group or the good name of the Wharton School. Any
cancellation fees or additional costs an individual incurs as a result of having been expelled from the
program are at the expense of the student. No refunds or program fee reductions will be made and the
student will fail the course.
