The Summer Intensive aims to prepare international students entering the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School full-time graduate programs for the academic rigors of one of the world’s premier universities. The program focuses on helping participants adjust to American life and culture. Daily practice in writing and speaking English in a variety of contexts helps students prepare for the logistical, academic, professional, and social challenges they will face. Through close reading of articles and case studies, they learn and apply essential business concepts and terminology from such core disciplines as economics, accounting, organizational behavior, and marketing. In addition, participants are introduced to resources and strategies to cope with the logistics of living in a foreign country, from housing and transportation to grocery shopping and navigating a telephone book. One function of such a carefully orchestrated transition is to reduce the anxiety and stress usually associated with the start of classes.
