Student Exchange Programs
An Invitation to Study Abroad . . .
Never before in history have political, economic, social and
cultural changes had such truly global significance. As individuals
and as a society, we must not only learn more about other countries
and cultures, but we must also gain an international perspective in
order to deal with the changing world in which we live. The College
of Business offers the opportunity to be at the center
of these exciting developments by spending a semester abroad.
The CoB offers a semester-long student-exchange program designed to introduce students to the world’s different economic, political and cultural environments. In addition to increasing their expertise in international management, finance and marketing, students gain increased command of foreign languages, make valuable networking contacts, and experience a total immersion into the host culture of another country. Exchanges are available with leading business schools in France and Spain, and through the International Student Exchange Program, other countries around the world. MBA students also may spend a semester in Beijing, China, as a participant in a program sponsored by a consortium of Jesuit business schools.
