Travel

Understanding cultural differences is all-important in international business. And what better way to learn than by visiting another country? We highly encourage our international business students to take advantage of our unique short-term travel opportunities or spend a full semester abroad.

On a recent trip, students studied Japanese business management as well as experiencing the social customs of Japanese culture in a summer partnership with Fukushima College. Read more about this experience…
