Global immersion electives are seven- to 14-day intensive study abroad programs. Students receive business elective credit and meet the Experiential Education and Undergraduate Business Global Awareness academic requirements. Finally, the timing of the immersion programs does not interfere with summer internships, so students can complete an immersion and an internship in the same summer.
Why consider an immersion?
- Study abroad and complete an internship in the same summer
- Visit multinational and local companies and apply business learning
- Satisfy multiple degree requirements
- Experience cultural learning
- Expand your network by making new friends in the Undergraduate Business program
- Explore and have fun!
