Study Abroad
Study Abroad - International Experience
The College of Business Administration encourages all its students to consider a study abroad experience. The advantages to be gained by living in another country for a summer, a semester, or even an academic year will benefit you personally and professionally as you gain a broader perspective on today's global business environment.
We offer study abroad programs to complement any business major in more than a dozen countries.
Experience the spirited and warm communities of Henan University (Henan Province, China) and Pusan University of Foreign Studies (Korea) as you travel and study through this area.
This program exposes students to the issues that affect the success of work in today’s flat world & global marketplace. India’s position as the global center for IT and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services provides a source for diverse viewpoints on these issues. The diverse culture of India will provide a unique and rich learning environment

Testimonials
Ondrej Talanda
I decided to study abroad because I wanted to enrich my academic and personal background. I came from Europe, and after several years in the United States, I sought an opportunity to live and study in Asia. I had several friends from South Korea, and since the program was affordable, it was a perfect match.
