Program Overview
Gain first-hand experience with the finance and marketing strategies of international companies. While overseas, you will visit American, German, Czech, Austrian and Hungarian companies engaged in international business. Germany and Austria are members of the European Union -- a major trading partner of the United States. The Czech Republic and Hungary are former Soviet Block countries trying to develop closer trading relationships with the West.
We will visit companies in Frankfurt, Munich, Prague, Budapest and Vienna. Tours will be conducted at financial institutions, manufacturing companies, service companies and governmental bodies to give a very broad view of both Eastern and Western European business.
Students will be lodged in hotels (two to a room) for the duration of the program. This program is designed for undergraduate students of the Business and Economics college. The two courses will consist of 10 class meetings in the U.S. prior to departure, a research paper and Power Point presentation, and approximately 20 company visits while abroad.
Please note that this program requires a significant time commitment during the semester prior to travel. Students should be prepared to attend class meetings and work on assignments throughout fall semester.
