At USD, we believe international consulting is one of the best ways to prepare yourself for a career in a global business environment. You'll have the opportunity to apply the business concepts and hands-on traning you've learned in class to real-world business situations abroad.

The international business practicum is a field-based, short-term consulting project for an organization in another country to address a current and problem which they have identified. In some cases, your project team might include other USD business school students and graduate business from a university in another country. We typically organize these projects in January (between the regualr semesters) and locations vary each year. In the last few years, students have consulted in Rio de Janerio, Brazil; Bangkok, Thailand; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Shanghai, China; Singapore; Munich, Germany; Delhi, India and Accra, Ghana.

7. Living around USD


-Apartments
上图红五星标识为USD所在位置, 学校内有自己的警队，非常安全. Pacific Ridge 是离学校最近的小区，就在学校正对面。Mariana Vista 小区离学校也很近，就在学校山脚下，步行10分钟即可达到学校；该小区门口就是轻轨站，可到达圣地亚哥市中心等地，非常便利。除此之外，学校周围还有许多民宿对外出租，根据房屋条件，价格不等。据了解，大部分同学选择居住在Mission Valley（地图中红圈区域）, Convoy St, Pacific Beach等区域，这些区域均属于距离学校15分钟车程的范围之内。

-Shopping and Chinese Restaurant
圣地亚哥的大型购物中心分别在Mission Valley, Fashion Valley. 基本上大小牌子都应有尽有，可以满足各类消费需求。在距离学校30分钟车程的美墨边境，有个奥特莱斯，可方便大家购买打折商品。大部分的中国餐厅聚集在距离学校15分钟车程的Convoy St, 北方菜，粤菜，四川菜，火锅等一应俱全。

-Commute
乘坐44路公交和轻轨均可到达学校，但生活在车轮上的国家，如果可以自己买车，生活的便利度会大大提升。如果不会驾车也没关系， 因为圣地亚哥本身并不大，学习、购物、生活的半径比较小，所以uber打车也是个不错的选择。地图中的红色长方形区域为圣地亚哥机场，距离学校15分钟车程，十分便利。

如果想毕业后在美国好找工作的话，最好去大学校而且排名靠前的，选STEM得课程。环境，地理位置比较好, 本科排名是前100 的小型贵族私立学校，小班教学. 研究生学院排名比较靠前,校友资源比较少,所以排名比较吃亏
