Many business students’ work/lives include or will include, to varying degrees, intercultural experiences. As faculty, one goal of our work with students could be to help them prepare for success in these experiences. This article summarizes the effects of a semester-long assignment in an upper division international human resource management class at a Midwestern U. S. university to increase students’ levels of intercultural sensitivity. The findings show that intentionally designed assignments based on Experiential Learning Theory and that are driven by the content area of the class may contribute positively to students’ intercultural sensitivity.
