BUS 4200 Study Abroad

Designed as a unique opportunity for high achieving undergraduates, Executive Study Abroad (ESA) is an intense 9-10 day program that exposes participants to multiple cultures, high level business executives, and global business topics. Students may participate in ESA trips, earning one (1) to three (3) credit hours (serves as an elective course). Students are expected to complete in depth, assigned readings prior to the trip abroad, then attend approximately 40 hours of business and organizational visits/lectures within the host country. Upon their return, participants select an approved topic, then write an extensive research paper. Sample trip combinations already completed: Zurich, Lausanne and Geneva, Switzerland; Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina; London, England, and Dublin, Ireland; Sydney, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand; Rome and Florence, Italy; Lisbon, Portugal; Barcelona, Spain; and Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto, Japan.
