Regardless of individual major and minor concentrations, all Patterson School students receive a general exposure to international commerce. This is accomplished not just through courses and special guest speakers, but also by trips to headquarters, manufacturing, and operations centers of major multinational corporations. Entering classes often begin with a visit to Toyota's vehicle production facility (TMMK), or Three Chimneys Farm and follow this with excursions to Big Ass Solutions, Link-Belt, Brown-Forman, or Procter & Gamble's World Headquarters.
