Study Abroad
Increasingly our MBA students see the value of an international study experience. You can participate, too, and expand your global horizons.
The College of Business has summer and semester exchange program agreements with a number of universities in other countries. Three exchange programs that might be of particular interest to MBA students are listed below. These programs all cover graduate level business classes, some in English. We are also working on a semester program at Nebrija University in Madrid, Spain and an internship program in Beijing, China. Both of those opportunities should be available for 2007.
