Every other year, the MSU I/O program embarks on an international trip. All students are expected to participate in the trip while they are enrolled in the I/O program at MSU. The trips provide exposure to international aspects of I/O psychology and give students a rich cross cultural experience. Over the last 15 years we have visited England, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, Singapore, Spain and Thailand. This year, we are going to Vietnam and Hong Kong.
