Study Abroad
Our international focus extends beyond the classroom. We offer a wide variety of immersive learning experiences that allow you to study abroad and make your dream internship a reality.
We provide our graduate students with opportunities to gain professional experience around the world in management, business, international policy, international development, and more! These experiences give students excellent networking opportunities and often lead to jobs after graduation.
Whether it's a summer internship, semester-long placement abroad or a short-term program during winter or spring semester, there is something for everyone.
