Faculty Objective

Built around the course, not the other way around.

Ground classroom debates on global business and policy in direct engagement — putting students in the room with scholars, economists, and practitioners shaping the US-China economic relationship.

Like every Knomadic program, this one started with the faculty's learning outcomes. We then designed the route, expert sessions, and site visits to serve them — and handled all logistics end to end.

What sets Knomadic apart is their intellectual seriousness. They didn't just arrange logistics — they co-designed a curriculum-integrated itinerary that sharpened our research questions. The transparency in budgeting was unlike anything I've seen in this space.

How It Ran

One partner, end to end.

01

Collaborative design

We work directly with faculty to map field experiences to course learning outcomes, identifying the right local experts and site visits.

02

Seamless logistics

End-to-end management: lodging, ground transport, group flights, site visits, meals, insurance, and vendor payments.

03

On-ground delivery

A dedicated coordinator with your group: daily logistics, expert sessions, and site visits run on time — backed by our 24/7 safety network.
