Study Abroad Business students explore the world as part of their USF educational experience. More than a quarter of all USF students who took advantage of summer study abroad excursions were business majors. Nearly 151 traditional students (a 10 percent increase over last year) and 40 Executive MBA students participated in one of nine faculty-led, business-specific programs. Some of these trips gave students the chance to explore established marketplaces and visit with global business leaders in distant locations such as Wales, Italy, the Czech Republic, and France. Others helped students understand the challenges facing emerging markets such as Argentina, Chile, India, or China. In the fall and spring semesters, roughly 15% of all study abroad participants were business majors. Some took part in semester-long exchange programs at internationally respected institutions. Others explored art, history, or took other electives in England or Germany. And some participated in a competitive intelligence program in Israel. Nearly a third of all scholarship funds awarded by the College of Business were provided to help encourage students to study abroad.

Executive MBA students learned the realities of how international business operates – from seeing the smog and rapid development in Beijing to hearing stories of international entrepreneurship. The trip was designed to increase the students’ understanding of how the global economy affects their industries and jobs. They visited Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, touring local branches of companies such as KPMG, Nielsen, Jabil, FE Sourcing, MedEq, and Qualcomm.
