Students from around the world come to Europe to study for an MBA. What are the programmes' benefits - and potential drawbacks?
In February, Joe Felice gave his wife and baby daughter a goodbye kiss at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and then boarded a flight to Amsterdam. The 38-year-old executive with Expedia.com, an online travel agency, settled in for a gruelling 13-hour trip, including two flights, a train and a metro ride. His final destination: business school at the Rotterdam School of Management (RSM) in the Netherlands. 
Rotterdam, Barcelona, London, Paris...popular study destinations
"I wanted to learn about doing business in other countries," says Felice, describing the reason behind his bi-monthly jaunts to "modules" or week-long courses in Rotterdam and other foreign cities. Studying in different countries is an aspect of his "OneMBA" programme, a collaborative effort between five business schools. 
In between journeys, he completes school assignments and projects by corresponding electronically with classmates from Mexico to Hong Kong. Yet for all his trouble, he'll collect a master's in business administration - a degree he could have picked up at many US universities - at the end of the two-year programme.
RSM's ambitious global MBA scheme is an example of the growing range of full-time, part-time and executive "international" MBA courses aimed at American students who hanker for a broader curriculum, a global network and exposure to different cultures.
